Disliking pineapple on a pizza does NOT make you a bad person. It only means that you shouldn't be the one to choose the pizza toppings.

Here is a clone I came across few years back, not bad:
Pork, Ribs, McRibs, Clone
Have you been fondly missing the guilty pleasure that is the famous boneless pork creation offered only for a limited time at your local McDonald's? If youve got a food processor you'll never have to go without the unmistakably unique taste and texture of the sauced-up sparerib sandwich that's dressed with pickles and onions and served on a soft, warm sandwich roll. The food processor is essential for grinding up the meat that's been cut away from the bones of a large rack of uncooked pork spareribs. The pork in McDonald's sandwich is combined with salt, a little dextrose sugar, plus water and a few preservatives, and then it is pressed into the shape of a small rack of ribs. Your version wont have the same fake bones stamped into the patty, but after shaping the meat and freezing it, you will be able to make cloned McRibs any time you want in your own kitchen in less than 10 minutes. If you follow these steps exactly, you will be shocked at how similar your home version tastes to the real McRib McCoy. I'm a huge McRib fan, and I was blown away by this one.
16 oz uncooked pork spareribs meat (cut off the bones from 1 rack)
3 Tbs water
1 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 tsp salt
4 6-inch center split white sandwich rolls (Sara Lee makes the perfect size)
1 cup Hunt's Original Barbecue Sauce
8 dill pickle slices
1/2 cup sliced yellow onion
1. Combine pork, water, sugar, and salt in a food processor and puree on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds or until completely smooth.
2. Divide pureed pork into 4 equal portions that weigh 4 ounces each. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Using your fingers that have been moistened with water form each portion of pork on the lined baking sheet into rectangles that measure 6 1/2 inches by 3 inches. Gently press another sheet of parchment paper or nonstick foil onto the top of the pork patties and then pop the whole pan into the freezer for a couple hours, or until the pork is frozen solid.
3. When you are ready to make your sandwiches preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Slice the sandwich rolls to separate the top and bottom half, then brown the faces of the top and bottom roll halves (crown and heel).
4. When the rolls are browned, use the same pan to cook the pork. Cook the pork on one side for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned in spots, then flip each pork patty over and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove all the pork patties to a platter to cool just a bit. The barbecue sauce will stick better if the pork cools down for a minute or two.
5. As pork cools pour 1 cup of barbecue sauce into a large shallow bowl. When the pork has cooled some, use tongs to dip each patty into the barbecue sauce until the pork is completely covered with sauce. Place the pork onto the heel of a sandwich roll, then arrange two pickle slices on the pork. Drop about 2 tablespoons of chopped onion on the pork, and then top off each sandwich with the crown.
6. Just before serving, zap each sandwich for 15 seconds in your microwave on the highest setting. This will warm the bread as if it had been wrapped in paper like the original.

I worked as a burger flipper at McDonald's (Bloomington Indiana mall- the "sMall" was not big) when in high school. At the close of breakfast, we filled both griddles with the McNasty (that's what we called them). Once done, into a large crock pot of BBQ sauce... sat there all day, unless we needed to make more. If I remember, we used the flip timer setting for quarter pounders. Raw, they looked like I was cooking ligaments... It's like a mcnugget without breading, but pinker. Nope.
PS - I've worked in many restaurants, McDonald's is easily the cleanest I've worked.

I have been making some outstanding pulled pork sammies from left over ribs. I always seem to cook an extra rack, which try as I might, I do not finish.
I carve that meat right out, chop it very fine, add a bit of sauce. Delicious.
If you have not done this, you are missing out.
That is as close as I will ever get to a McRib.

It all has a place, I'll defend the regular McD's hamburger and fries as one of the great hangover foods all day. Something was always off with the McRib to me, but to be fair I haven't had one in many many moons. These days, it's more about the calorie splurge vs. the satisfaction. McD's just doesn't register on that radar anymore. Love the nostalgia thinking about it, but I'll pass. Those pics also did not stir any feelings that I'm missing out.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA
