Big Mac Burgers

Big Mac Burgers

This is the home made version of the famous burger served all over the world. With this, you know what is in it, not the assembly line product that has an ingredient list longer than your arm. This a a double decker burger with a Big Mac sauce. I made these on 16 Feb 2017, very very good! I made the classic double decker for myself and just a jr Big Mac for my wife with just one burger. Highly recommended to make these with just one burger, much easier to handle. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 2/3 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Burgers

  • 500 grams ground beef, OR make from a shortcut
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 sesame seed buns, sliced into 3 pieces

Toppings

  • 4 teaspoons onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups lettuce, shredded
  • Cheddar cheese, use real cheese, not processed
  • 8 slices dill pickles, OR make from a shortcut on this site

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside. Refrigerate for a while is even better.
  • Mix the salt and pepper into the beef, split the mixture into 4 parts and roll into balls. Flatten each ball and shape into a patty.
  • Place patties into a non stick pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and cook the patties for 3 minutes each side. Meanwhile, slice the burger buns into 3 parts and slightly toast them. (I do not mess around with burgers, I make thick large burgers.)
  • To assemble, spread the sauce over the base and middle bun. Add onion and lettuce on both buns. On the bottom bun add cheese and one of the burger patties, on the middle bun add 4 pickle slices and burger patty. Lift the middle bun onto the top of the base and finally add the top of bun.
  • To make a Jr. Big Mac, use only 1 burger and no middle bun. On the bottom bun add sauce, lettuce, onion, and cheese, and one of the burger patties, top that with 4-5 pickle slices, add sauce to the top bun and cover the top with that.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
  • And the Jr. Big Mac.

Notes

Ground beef runs about 100 Baht/500 grams. For 2 servings, this is about $1.47 per serving. If you went the route with just 1 burger patty and made 4 Jr. Big Macs, you could stretch this to 4 servings at a cost of 74 cents per serving.

    Excellent burger! The double decker is a bit much and I will only make the single patty ones now, but the taste is perfect. I ground the beef with some sausage (read that shortcut), made the buns myself, as well as the sauce. Local grown lettuce and onion, real Cheddar cheese from New Zealand. Excellent meal. My Go-To burger from now on.
