Ingredients

For the Burgers:

2 sesame seed burger buns (plus extra bottom bun for layering)
2 beef patties per burger (thin and flat)
2 slices of American cheese
½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
Dill pickle slices (optional but authentic)
Butter (for toasting the buns)

For the Special Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons French dressing or ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Special Big Mac Sauce

In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the burgers.

2. Prepare the Beef Patties

Season your beef patties with a little salt and pepper.
Grill or pan-fry the patties for 2–3 minutes per side until fully cooked.
During the last minute, place cheese on half of the patties to melt.

3. Toast the Buns

Lightly butter the buns and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.
Don’t forget the extra bottom bun layer for the middle of the Big Mac!

4. Assemble the Burger

Bottom bun: Add special sauce, onions, lettuce, cheese, beef patty.
Middle bun (bottom bun of second roll): Repeat layers — sauce, onions, lettuce, pickles (optional), second patty.
Top bun: Finish with the sesame seed bun top.

Tips for Perfection

Use thin beef patties for that authentic fast-food texture.
Chilling the sauce enhances its flavor.
Shredded lettuce gives the classic crunch.
