Copycat Big Mac Recipe
Here's a way to make a Big Mac burger like the ones you get at McDonald's.

Ingredients:

1 - sesame-seed hamburger bun & half of an additional hamburger bun.

1/4 - pound ground beef

1 - dash of salt

1 - tablespoon of Kraft Thousand Island dressing

1 - teaspoon onion -- finely diced

1/2 - cup lettuce -- chopped

1 - slice American cheese

3 - dill pickle slices

---------------------------------------------
Preparation Method

1. With a serrated knife, cut the top off the extra bun half, leaving about a 3/4-inch-thick slice. This will be the middle bun in your sandwich.

2. Place the three bun halves on a hot pan or griddle, face down, and toast them to a light brown. Set aside, but keep the pan hot.

3. Divide the ground beef in half and press into two thin patties slightly larger than the bun.

4. Cook the patties in the hot pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Salt lightly. 5. Build the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom up: bottom bun half of dressing half of onion half of lettuce American cheese beef patty middle bun remainder of dressing remainder of onion remainder of lettuce pickle slices beef patty top bun.

Makes 1 hamburger.

Well, although the McD's sauce is a little more than Thousand Island, it's very close!
