Matty Matheson’s Homemade McDonald's McRib Recipe

A homemade McDonald’s McRib recipe: Matty Matheson brings The Bear and BBQ together with tangy pickles, smoky sauce, and must-have raw onions.

But did you know I also harbor a genuine love for McDonald’s McRib? Yep, while I’ll proudly proclaim my McRib love to the world, I honestly couldn’t tell you why it holds such a special place in my heart. But here we are.

**The Ultimate Homemade McRib (Smoked Rib Sandwich)**

Now, it’s all coming together! Matty Matheson—yes, that Matty—is whipping up a homemade McDonald’s McRib, and I’m ready to dive in. Just thinking about that smoky-sweet barbecue sauce with those tangy pickles and, most importantly, the raw onions (non-negotiable!) makes my mouth water. So, bring on the DIY recipe:

THE RECIPE IS IN MY NEW COOKBOOK: SOUPS, SALADS, SANDWICHES!
