Ingredients
For the Big Mac Sauce -
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons pickle relish dill or sweet + 2 tsp extra juices
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar not needed if using sweet relish
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
For 4 Big Macs –
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 4 sesame seed hamburger +4 bottom buns if you want to add the quintessential McDonald's center bun. I left it out.
- Big Mac sauce
- 8 lices of American cheese
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 4 tablespoons minced white onion
- 12+ dill pickles slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt pepper, and onion powder
Instructions
To make Big Mac Sauce -
- Set out a medium mixing bowl or measuring picture. Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, minced onion, yellow mustard, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure to add in a couple extra teaspoons of pickle relish juice for extra tang. Stir until smooth. Then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make Big Macs -
- Form the ground meat in to 8 very thin patties that are wider than the buns. Sprinkle both sides of each patty with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Set a large skillet (or two large skillets, if you want to finish the burgers all at once) over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, place one tablespoon of butter in the skillet and place four patties in the pan. Press the patties extra flat with a wide spatula. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, per side. During the last minute in the skillet add a slice of American cheese over the top of each patty so it has time to melt.
- Meanwhile, open the buns. Slather Big Mac sauce on both sides of the bun. Layer shredded lettuce on the bottom bun, and minced onion on the top bun.
- Stack two all-beef patties and pickles over the lettuce. If adding the center bun, place it in between the two hamburger patties.
- If using one skillet repeat with the remaining butter and burger patties. Serve immediately.
