Craving the iconic taste of a McDonald's Big Mac? This homemade version brings all the delicious flavors into your kitchen. Enjoy the juicy beef, American cheese, and tangy dressing without leaving home!

Ingredients:

🥩 1 lb round beef
🧂 Salt, to taste
🌶️ Pepper, to taste
🧀 American cheese slices
🥫 Thousand Island dressing
🥬 Shredded lettuce
🧅 Chopped onion
🥒 Dill pickles, sliced
🍔 Hamburger buns

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef Patties:
- Place the round beef in a bowl.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Divide the beef into equal portions and shape them into patties using a piece of film or wax paper for ease.
Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Assemble the Big Mac:
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or skillet.
- Spread Thousand Island dressing on the bottom bun.
- Add a layer of chopped onions and shredded lettuce.
- Place one cheese-topped patty on the lettuce.
- Add a few slices of dill pickle.
- Add another middle bun layer (if replicating the Big Mac stacking style).
- Repeat the previous layers: Thousand Island dressing, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, another cheese-topped patty.
- Finish with the top bun.
Serve:
- Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the patties are hot.

Cooking Tips:

For an even juicier patty, let the seasoned beef rest at room temperature for a few minutes before forming into patties.
Use freshly shredded lettuce for a crisp texture.
