Aldi $2.69 item that 'tastes like McDonald's' goes viral on TikTok

If you’ve ever found yourself tucking into a McDonald’s Big Mac and wondering just how you could make something as delicious at home yourself, then one TikToker has you covered.

Fitness coach Bec Hardgraves has documented how she makes a healthier alternative to the Big Mac at home using all Aldi products - and the end result is only 420 calories.

Bec gets all her ingredients for her burger at Aldi, where she says she found “brioche buns that taste literally like McDonald's”.

The $2.69 burger buns are topped with sesame seeds and as the description says are “enriched with eggs milk and butter for the perfect gourmet burger”.

Bec adds smokey cheddar cheese and burger sauce, raw onions and pickles.

“Aldi have the best buns,” one person commented, while another said: “Aldi buns are the best. I love the cheeseburger buns with no seeds, good for homemade burgs.”

“Omg I’m trying this for dinner looks amazing yummy,” another person wrote.

Others recommended ways Bec could elevate the burger, saying they buy their pickles from Coles and they just like the Maccas ones.

Another person said Bec should get dehydrated onions and then rehydrate them “Macca’s style”.

Interestingly a few commenters said they actually buy the burger buns from Maccas and make the contents of the burger at home themselves.

“$4 for a pack of 6 gourmet buns and you can buy their English muffins too.”
