Ingredients
For the Beef Patties
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
For Building the Burgers
- 4 lettuce leaves For wrapping the burger
- 4 slices cheddar cheese Or cheese of choice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until combined.
- Form the beef into balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them in the hot skillet. Use a spatula to smash each ball down firmly, creating patties.
Cooking
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and reach your desired level of doneness.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and dill pickle relish to create your special Big Mac sauce.
- Top each burger with a slice of cheddar cheese, a crisp lettuce leaf, and dill pickle slices.
- Drizzle the sauce generously over each burger before serving, allowing the flavors to melt together beautifully.
Notes
Serve hot with extra pickle slices or garden salad. Can be customized with different cheeses and sauces. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
