Kitchen Of Yum

So with the fast food places shutting down, I challenged myself to create my own fast food style food. This week my first week is MC Donald’s Big Mac, The burger rolls and patties were easy…..but it was the sauce that was the real winner in my book.

Ingredients

For the Burger

• 400g beef mince 
• 4tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 burger buns
• 2 burger bun bottoms
• 1 white onion
• ½   lettuce 
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 dill pickles.

For the Sauce

• 150g mayo
• 1tsp vinegar
• White pepper
• 1tsp mustard
• 1tsp garlic powder
• ½tsp smoked paprika
• 1tbsp Tomato Ketchup

1. Mix all the sauce ingredients together and leave in the fridge.
2. Chop the pickle into slices and chop the lettuce and onion into small chunks
3. Season the mince beef with salt and pepper and form into 4 equal size balls then flatten into round patties that are fairly thin, about the thickness of a £1 coin.
4. Heat a frying pan with oil until sizzling then fry the burgers for about 2 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
5. Lightly Fry the onions to remove soften the taste, do not burn.
6. Toast the buns and spread the sauce over the bottom.
7. Layer your burger in this order – Bun, Sauce, Lettuce, Onion, Cheese, Burger, Bun, Sauce, Lettuce, Onion, Burger, Pickle, Cheese, Top of Bun

Top Tip

Make it a single layer burger, still use 2 burger patties but miss out the middle bun.
