Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small hamburger buns
- 8 slices American cheese
- 16 dill pickle slices
- Shredded lettuce
- Thinly sliced onions
- Sesame seeds
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, minced onion, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the special sauce.
- Divide the ground beef into 16 equal portions and shape them into thin patties.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
- To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the special sauce on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with shredded lettuce, thinly sliced onions, and a layer of pickles. Place two cheese-topped patties on each bun, then cover with the top half of the bun.
- Optional: Brush the top of each bun with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve the homemade Big Mac clones immediately and enjoy!
