How To Make A McDonald's Big Mac
Famous from the McDonald's song, the Big Macs has been popular for decades. Burger King currently has a similar sandwich, known as the BK Stacker. Here is a recipe for a McDonald's Big Mac.
Ingredients
Sandwich
- 1 regular sized sesame seed bun
- 1 regular sized plain bun
- 2 beef patties (2 ounces each flattened to bun size)
- 2 tablespoons Big Mac sauce (recipe follows)
- 2 teaspoons reconstituted onions
- 1 slice real American cheese
- 2 hamburger pickle slices
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons french salad dressing
- 1/2 tablespoon sweet relish
- 2 teaspooons dill pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon very finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Steps
- Mix all of the sauce ingredients together, make sure there are NO streaks and store it in the refrigerator for about an hour before using. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Take the top of the regular bun and toss it away (you don't need this part). However, you need to keep the bottom of it.
- Toast the other 3 individual buns. Do this to the both sides of the regular bun bottom and toast the sesame bun as usual (the inner sides).
- Cook the beef patties. You can cook it however you wish and to your preference on a cooked level (rare to well done).
- Take the bottom of the regular bun and the bottom of the sesame bun and put 1 tablespoon of the sauce on them.
- Put 1/8 cup of the lettuce onto each sauced bun. Also, on the very bottom bun (the sesame), place a slice of cheese on top of the lettuce. On the regular bun, put the pickle slices on the lettuce.
- Stack each burger on top of the condiments (cheese and pickles).
- Pick up, carefully, the regular bun (with everything) and stack it on the bottom layer. Place the top of the sesame bun on top of the burger.
Tips
- You can double the number of patties in a sandwich to create a double Big Mac.
- According to some websites(as stated in the food.com website source below), part of the dressing is really thousand-island dressing. Take a bite of one, and taste it. You'll see that thousand island is really what part of this dressing is.
