Big Mac Sloppy Joes
These Big Mac Sloppy Joes pack all the signature flavors of the famous burger into a homemade version you can whip up any night of the week! The iconic special sauce, melty American cheese, and familiar toppings create a meal that rivals the drive-thru original.
Servings: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sweet relish
- 3 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoons white vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dehydrated (granulated) onion
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef 85% lean
- 1 cooking onion finely diced, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 5 slices American cheese
- 8 sesame seed hamburger buns
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- pickle chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the Big Mac sauce by combining the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, dehydrated onion, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, ½ cup of the onion, salt, and pepper. Fry until the meat is no longer pink.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir ½ cup of the Big Mac sauce into the beef mixture.
- Add one slice of American cheese to the beef mixture and stir until melted and creamy.
- Reduce the heat to low to keep the beef warm while assembling the sandwiches.
- Remove the tops of 4 of the hamburger buns. You will be left with 8 bottom buns and 4 top buns. Toast them lightly.
- Place 4 bottom buns on a tray and spread them with some Big Mac sauce.
- Next, add some lettuce and some of the remaining diced onion.
- Place 1 slice of cheese over each of the sandwiches.
- Spoon a heaping amount of the beef mixture over each sandwich using a 1/3 cup measuring cup.
- Top with the remaining 4 bottom buns and continue the order of assembly, spreading the Big Mac sauce over each bun, adding the lettuce and onions.
- Next, add the pickle chips (about 4 per sandwich).
- Add the remaining heaping 1/3 cup beef mixture to each sandwich, and top with the sesame seed-coated top bun.
- Serve while still warm.
Notes
- If you are using a leaner type of ground beef, such as 90% lean, you will need to add 2 teaspoons of oil to the skillet when frying the meat.
- You will have 4 leftover top buns. So they don’t go to waste; keep them for later use when making a sandwich.
- We made these layered like a big mac, you could also serve in one bun like a standard sloppy joe. They will stretch further or if you have little ones they might not need a double decker.
