Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 sesame seed buns, 2 bottoms and 1 top per burger
- 4 slices American cheese
- white onion, finely diced
- iceberg lettuce, thinly shredded
- dill pickle slices
Big Mac Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
Instructions
Big Mac Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickle relish, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and turmeric. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
For the Burgers
- Divide the ground beef evenly into 3-ounce portions and form into balls. Cover and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat your griddle or cast iron skillet to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Place two balls of beef on the hot griddle or skillet. You can cook all of the hamburgers at the same time if your griddle will fit them all. Just work quickly because the meat cooks fast.
- Press the ball of meat down with a large flat metal spatula. Get the patty as flat and thin as you can. You'll be doubling up the patties, so don't be nervous about a thin patty. It helps to cover the meat with a piece of parchment paper to prevent the meat from sticking to the spatula.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
To Assemble
- Add the following ingredients, working from the bottom up: bottom bun, big mac sauce, onion, lettuce, beef patty, cheese, pickles, bottom bun, big mac sauce, onion, lettuce, beef patty, pickles, top bun.
