Fast food may not be the most gourmet food but we still often crave it. We don’t want to eat it often though since the ingredients often are questionable at best and it’s not always the most frugal option.

Thanks to the internet we can now find copycat recipes for some of our favorite fast food items. Many use better ingredients and therefore are a bit better for us.

It can be a lot of fun to make some of your fast food favorites at home. Since you control the ingredients it can also be great if someone in the family has food allergies and maybe can’t have their favorite fast food items anymore. Or maybe you’ve moved and no longer live near a favorite fast food place.

Whatever the reason for wanting to make your favorite fast food recipes at home you can likely find a recipe online. This list includes copycat fast food recipes that are made using natural ingredients. I’ve also included some from other countries. It would be a lot of fun to try those!
