Big Mac Recipe

1-1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
Shredded lettuce
Minced onion
Hamburger Dill Pickle Chips
Special Sauce
Hamburger Buns - with or without sesame seeds

SPECIAL SAUCE

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. French Dressing
2 Tbsp. dill pickle relish (use about 1/2 cup of dill pickle chips, chopped finely)
1 tsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. ketchup
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Mix all sauce ingredients and refrigerate for at least one hour for flavors to blend.

Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions.  Form into VERY thin patties, about 1/4" thick.  Season with salt and pepper.

Heat up a griddle or cast iron pan.  Lightly butter hamburger buns.  You will be using two bottoms and one top of the buns.

Grill until nicely toasted.

Fry hamburger patties until nicely browned on each side.

While the burgers are frying, top each bun portion with about 1 Tbsp. of Special Sauce.  Top two portions with shredded lettuce, minced onion and pickle slices.

Top each "bottom" bun portion with hamburger pattie and top with a slice of American cheese.  Add remaining top bun portion.
