Here are the official recipes for IKEA meatballs, Disney Park beignets, sausage and egg McMuffins and more.

Click or scroll through our gallery to discover 28 secret recipes revealed by famous brands – counting down to the most coveted of all.

Our ranking is based on the popularity of each dish and the demand to be able to recreate it at home, as well as on the opinions of our expert team. This list is unavoidaby subjective.
