Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb ground beef 80/20
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 sesame seed buns + 1 extra middle slice or 1 extra bun to use the bottom as the middle layer
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced white onion
  • Dill pickle slices
  • ⅓ cup Big Mac Sauce from your Big Mac Sauce recipe

Instructions
 

  • Make Big Mac Sauce and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Divide beef into 4 thin patties; season both sides with salt.
  • Heat skillet over medium-high and cook patties 1–2 minutes per side; add cheese to two patties to melt.
  • Toast buns lightly, then assemble: bottom bun + sauce + lettuce + patty; add middle bun + sauce + lettuce + patty with cheese + pickles + onions + top bun.

Notes

Thin patties cook fast—avoid overcooking.
Toasting buns helps prevent sogginess.
Assemble just before serving for best texture.
Sauce stores 5 days refrigerated; burgers are best fresh.
