Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Ground Beef Chopper (or Sturdy Spoon)
  • measuring spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • Small Whisk or Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ketchup plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle brine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 8 hamburger rolls preferably with sesame seeds
  • 8 slices American cheese or mild cheddar
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onions or green onions
  • ½ cup Burger Sauce or more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Crumble the ground beef into a medium skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over it and break it up as you brown it.
  • If there is a large amount of fat, you can pour it off. Don’t pour it all off, though!
  • Any fat in the neighborhood of 2 tablespoons or so can remain in the pan to bring more flavour to the party. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, granulated garlic, and granulated onion.
  • In a small bowl or jar, stir or whisk together the pickle juice and cornstarch to make a slurry. Pour this mixture over the ground beef and stir well, over medium-high heat, until the sauce thickens and is glossy.
  • Scoop a generous amount of the hot Big Mac filling onto the bottom half of a hamburger bun. Top with one slice of American cheese and garnish with shredded lettuce, onions, and dill pickles.
  • Drizzle with the burger sauce. Top with the upper half of the burger bun. Repeat with remaining filling and buns and serve!
