McDonald’s Creates New Breakfast Item Inspired by Menu Hacks and Their ‘Secret Menu’

Is there anything better than a McDonald’s breakfast menu item? Yes. A new McDonald’s breakfast menu item. Especially one that was created with inspiration from Micky D’s fans!

While you might think that nothing could beat the original egg McMuffin or sausage McGriddle, the fast food joint has done it once again—but this time, with a little help from us, their customers, specifically the menu hackers who made the “secret menu” a thing.

McDonald’s will soon be offering Triple Breakfast Stacks, which is as delicious and hearty as it sounds: Two sausage patties, bacon, two layers of American cheese and an egg on your chouce of a biscuit, McMuffin or McGriddle. Um. Yum.

Now that certainly sounds like a breakfast item that will keep us full until lunchtime. Our stomachs are rumbling just thinking about it!

See the official announcement below.

How this new breakfast item came to be

If you’re unfamiliar with McDonald’s “secret menu,” it’s a combination of meals that aren’t necessarily on the formal menu.

These mishmashes come from regular customers who like to experiment with customizing various versions of their food—you know, stuffing a hash brown into your burger or drizzling a creamy fruit ‘n yogurt parfait over an order of hotcakes. (Yes, these are both things, but we digress.)

McDonald’s finally took a cue from these ‘inventors’ and created this new breakfast item that combines all the best stuff that customers love into one—sausage, bacon, cheese, and egg. What more could we want?

“People have been hacking our menu for years—so much so that it’s inspired our new Triple Breakfast Stacks,” Chef Mike Haracz, manager of culinary innovation at McDonald’s, said in a statement. “We love seeing the fun ways our customers and McDonald’s crew have been creating their own takes on our classics.”

How McDonald’s continues to amp up their breakfast

While McDonald’s has made numerous strides in their breakfast options over the years—the biggest possibly being extending their breakfast to be all day (we don’t miss you, breakfast-served-only-til-11)—the franchise want to keep the momentum going.

“We want to do better at breakfast,” said CEO Steve Easterbrook. “We’ve got some initiatives in place, which we are going see out through the next few months.”

When you can grab this new deliciousness

The Triple Breakfast Stack will be available starting November 1 and is only going to be available for a limited time, so make sure you stop in and pick one up for breakfast as soon as possible!

“We can’t wait to see what [menu hackers] come up with next—you never know what might end up on our menu,” Haracz said. That’ll give us inspiration to start trying out new combos of McDonald’s food!
