McFakeaway Night 🍔🍟
This week’s kitchen adventure was my attempt at recreating the famous Philly Cheese Stack, Slimming World style! This Fakeaway went viral when Sarahs_SW_Diary posted it on her Instagram page.
I used Slimming World burgers, though next time I’d stick with just one as two was a bit too much, and I ended up removing one.
The Verdict on Taste
Honestly? It was spot on. Fresh, filling, and a whole lot tastier than the branded version. The homemade touch really made it feel like a treat without the guilt.

Syn Breakdown
- Brioche bun – 8 Syns
- Fries – Aldi Takeaway Fries 🍟 one portion is 3.5 Syns. You could always swap for Slimming World chips to save Syns.
- Cheese – Aldi low fat singles – Hex A. I used one slice in the burger and melted two with a splash of liquid (pickle juice or water) to make a quick cheese sauce. Microwave 30 seconds, stir, and pour over the stack.
The Build
- Toast the bun in a pan with Frylight.
- Layer it up: base bun → burger → cheese slice → burger → onions & gherkins → drizzle with cheese sauce → bun lid on top.
Final Thoughts
Would I Fake it Again? – Yes!
My Rating – 8.5 / 10
Fresh, filling, fun, and definitely worth a repeat.
