Rachel Eats Stuff: The supersize sausage and egg McMuffin hack

It's four pork sausage patties, three eggs, three slices of cheese and two rashers of bacon

Some mornings you’re hungry. Other mornings, you’re so ravenous and feeling so delicate that only a McDonald’s breakfast will do.

But on the days where a standard sausage and egg McMuffin just won’t cut it, there’s a simple way to boost your breakfast.

Enter, the supersized sausage and egg McMuffin.

Consisting of four pork sausage patties, three eggs, three slices of cheese and two rashers of bacon, it clocks in at around 1,345 calories.

A regular double sausage and egg McMuffin is two sausage patties, one egg and one slice of cheese.

All you have to do to supersize it is tap ‘Customise’ on the self-order screens and add two more patties, two rashers of bacon, two extra eggs and two more slices of cheese.

It’s only £2.70 more expensive too - a standard double sausage and egg McMuffin costs £4.19, including a breakfast side and drink, and the supersized version comes to £6.89, as a Sun reader discovered.

But it’s safe to say, the stack is not one for the only-slightly-peckish.

Naturally, I decided to give it a try.

I unwrapped the paper to find a somewhat unstable-looking stack - this was going to be messy.

It was actually impossible to get everything in my mouth at once, but I certainly gave it my best effort.

And it was actually pretty tasty, hitting all my salty, stodgy, carby cravings.

By halfway, however, it wasn’t tasting so delicious. My goodness, it was greasy.

Three-quarters of the way through my feast, I was struggling. The rubbery texture of the egg was not sitting well with me and I genuinely thought I might throw up.

But I’m no quitter, so I persevered to the end, polishing off every last crumb.

It’s an unnecessary amount of food, for sure.

Supersize me indeed.
