This recipe is from the 1968 McDonald's Manager's Handbook put out in 1969 (1968 year). They quickly removed the recipe after realizing they had a very appealing "secret sauce." It was included as an emergency recipe in the event a particular store ran out of the pre-made sauce. Enjoy! It's the real deal!
