Homemade Big Mac Cheeseburgers
Instructions:
A Flavorful Symphony of Homemade Deliciousness
1. Crafting the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thin patty. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
2. Sizzling Goodness: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked to your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
3. Special Sauce Harmony: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, finely minced onion, white vinegar, sugar, and mustard. This is your special sauce, a key component of the homemade Big Mac experience.
4. Assembling the Symphony: Split the sesame seed hamburger buns into tops and bottoms. On the bottom bun of each, spread a generous spoonful of the special sauce.
5. Layers of Flavor: Layer the shredded lettuce, finely chopped iceberg lettuce, finely chopped white onion, and sliced dill pickles on top of the special sauce.
6. Burger Brilliance: Place a cooked cheeseburger patty on each bun, atop the layered vegetables.
7. Topping with Finesse: Spoon an additional dollop of the special sauce over the cheeseburger patty.
8. Captivating Crescendo: Top each burger with the remaining hamburger bun halves, completing the ensemble.
