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.

• Crispy fries or potato wedges
