Homemade Big Mac burger

We've moved this installment of our educational series back into the kitchen. In the last cooking special we showed you two quick fitness recipes. But today we're going to show you how to make a homemade Big Mac! At the same time, you'll learn some practice-tested hints and tips. The Big Mac is an iconic sandwich that you can make at home. This recipe will help you create a very similar taste and look to the original from McDonald's. Prepare the following ingredients.

Ingredients:

• Ground beef (approx. 500g for 4 burgers)
• Sesame buns for the burgers
• Iceberg lettuce
• Onions
• Cucumbers (pickled)
• Slices of cheddar or other cheese suitable for burgers
• Salt and pepper

For Big Mac Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons French salad dressing
• 4 teaspoons sweet and sour pickle brine
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• Small pinch of sugar

Procedure:

1. Preparation of Big Mac sauce: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Refrigerate until sandwich is ready.
2. Prepare the meat. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cooking the patties: Put a little oil in a frying pan and cook the patties at medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until well cooked through. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
4. Prepare the buns: cut the buns into three parts (bottom, middle, top). Lightly toast the middle and top parts in a frying pan or toaster.
5. Assembling the Big Mac: Spread some Big Mac sauce on the bottom of the bun, add some finely chopped onion, top with a slice of lettuce, a slice of meat and cheese, and then add the middle part of the bun. Spread the sauce on the middle part again, add the onion, lettuce, another slice of meat and cheese, a few slices of pickles and finish with the top of the bun.
