Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs lean hamburger
- 6 sesame seed buns + 6 extra bottoms
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/4 head of iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 white onion
- 2-3 dill pickles
- Special Sauce
- 1/2 cup real mayo
- 1/2 cup Miracle Whip
- 1/3 cup sweet relish
- 1/4 cup french dressing
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp diced onions
Preparation
Step 1
You are going to want to make your sauce first and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least an hour. Simply combine all of the sauce ingredients together.
Step 2
Next, prepare your toppings as these hamburgers patty's are so small, they cool very quickly so quick assembly is key.
Dice the onion into very small cubes.
Step 3
Next, chop your lettuce very fine Slice your pickles & cheddar cheese and set aside.
Step 4
As you know, the Big Mac has an extra bun in the middle. To achieve this at home, thinly slice the bottom layer of a bottom portion of bun.
Step 5
weigh the meat into 2 oz balls. Form into a very thin patty. The patty's will shrink quite a bit, so the thinner, the better (I stack my patty's on a plate using wax paper to seperate them so they don't stick).
Cook the hamburgers in a frying pan over medium heat for 1 minute per side
