If you ever wished you had a stash of McDonalds breakfast sausage at home, that you could cook up whenever cravings hit, youre in luck. A McDonalds insider just revealed that a major national grocery chain sells a product thats pretty darn close to the Mickey Ds original.
Mike Haracz, a TikToker and former McDonalds corporate chef who frequently shares insider info and ordering tips for the chain (@chefmikeharacz), recently set out to find the closest thing to the chains breakfast sausage at grocery stores. In a new viral video that has racked up more than 835,00 views, he explains that he compared the ingredients and nutrition information for McDonalds sausage with a variety of different grocery store versions.
After finding a product with similar ingredients and nutrition details, Haracz tried it and confirmed that the taste was almost an exact match as well. This dupe for McDonalds sausage is available right now at your local Walmart: Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties.
Haracz says Walmarts Great Value sausage patties have a very similar ingredient list to the McDonalds sausage. We compared the ingredients for the two items as well, and found that most of the components do match despite a few minor differences. Both contain pork, water, salt, spices, dextrose, and natural flavors.
Haracz also noted that the Great Value version has a little more fat and a different set of preservatives, but said the flavor was pretty much a dead ringer for McDonalds.
“When I tasted it and cooked it up, it is pretty darn close to the McDonalds breakfast sausage patty. So enjoy!” he said.
And its not just Haracz who thinks the Great Value sausage is remarkably close to McDonalds sausage. Several TikTokers agreed with him in the comments.
This isnt the only Walmart product that Haracz believes is a dupe for a popular McDonalds item. In another viral video from October, Haracz declared Walmarts Great Value Secret Sauce as the closest thing to McDonalds Big Mac sauce that you can buy in a grocery store. But if you want to replicate that famous sauce exactly, Haracz has also shared the coveted recipe on his TikTok page.
Although McDonald’s doesn’t reveal exactly where it sources its sausages, it’s likely that the sausage parties come from either Lopez Foods or Keystone Foods. Both manufacturers are responsible for supplying many of the meats needed to produce McDonald’s menu items.
