Ingredients
Scale
Sloppy Joe Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices American cheese
Big Mac Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely diced dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced yellow onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Mix the Sloppy Joe Ingredients: Stir in the chopped dill pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
- Prepare the Big Mac Sauce: While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, combine mayonnaise, finely diced dill pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Toast the Buns: Optionally, toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden to add texture and warmth to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Top each with a slice of American cheese, a generous layer of shredded iceberg lettuce, and a spoonful of the prepared Big Mac sauce. Finish with the top bun.
- Serve Warm: Serve the assembled Big Mac Sloppy Joes warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Prepare the Big Mac sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week to save time on serving day.
- For extra crunch and texture, add finely diced white onion to the sloppy joe mixture or use sesame seed buns to enhance the authentic Big Mac experience.
