McDonald's is making some big changes to the iconic Big Mac burger recipe in the US - and it sounds absolutely mouth-watering.
The new recipe will include softer "pillowy" buns that are toasted, "meltier" cheese, white onions - added to the patties on the grill to create a "juicier, caramelized flavour" - as well as extra Big Mac sauce added to the burger.
The fast food giant announced the changes yesterday and said they will be rolled out across America by 2024.

As well as the Big Mac burger, the recipe changes will also apply to the McDouble burger, the classic Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger and Hamburger.
McDonald's chefs said the aim was to make the burgers "more flavourful than ever" and they were met with "rave reviews in Belgium, Australia and Canada."
In a statement on April 17, McDonald's said: "Our chefs have been cooking up small but tasty improvements to the Big Mac sandwich, McDouble burger and our classic Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger and Hamburger – and we can’t wait for fans across the U.S. to get a taste."
It continued: "After being introduced in international markets like Australia, Canada and Belgium to rave reviews, the burger changes are making their US debut this year. We’ve already started rolling them out in several cities on the West Coast, and customers will be able to taste the difference at all restaurants nationwide by 2024."
However, despite being trialled in Europe, the McDonald's Big Mac in Ireland looks set to stay the same for now.
A spokesperson for McDonald's said they "don’t currently have any plans to introduce this to Ireland."
