Homemade Big Mac Clone

Ingredients List

• ⅔ pound ground beef (85% lean)

• 2 cups mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

• 1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar, or more to taste

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon ground paprika

• 4 hamburger bun bottoms

• 2 hamburger bun tops

• 2 tablespoons minced onion, or to taste

• ½ cup shredded lettuce, or to taste

• 2 tablespoons dill pickle slices, or to taste

• 2 slices American cheese

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Form the ground beef into four flat patties that will fit the burger buns. Place them on a tray lined with wax paper and freeze for a bit.

2. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, white wine vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to create the sauce. Chill it for 10 minutes.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast the buns in batches until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Spread some sauce on the bottom buns, then top with minced onion, lettuce, and pickles. On the remaining bottom buns, add more sauce, the remaining onions, lettuce, and American cheese.

5. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Cook them in the skillet, two at a time, until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place one patty on each bottom bun, stack the buns, and top with the other bun to finish.
