Cooking BIG MAC

INGREDIENTS :

(this is a per sandwich recipe)

• 1 -regular sized sesame seed bun
• 1 -regular sized plain bun
• 2 -previously frozen regular beef patties
• 2 -tablespoons Big Mac sauce
• 2 -teaspoons reconstituted onions
• 1 -slice real American cheese
• 2 -hamburger pickle slices
• 1/4 Cup -shredded iceberg lettuce

COOKING:

Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the heel. The cooking method for the Big Mac™ is basically the same as the regular burgers, only the bun toasting method is slightly different. In the Big Mac's case you toast the bottom (heel) first. Do this along with the extra heel. (this will be your middle bun.)

Cook the two-all-beef-patties just like the regular burgers. After the bun parts are toasted, put 1 tablespoon of "Mac sauce" on each of the heels.(toasted side.) Then add 1/8 cup shredded lettuce to each.On the true bottom bun, place one thin slice of American cheese on top of the lettuce. On the extra "heel", the middle bun, place two pickle slices on top of the lettuce. Toast the "crown" (top) of the bun also. When the meat patties are done, place them one at a time on both prepared buns. Stack the middle bun on top of the bottom bun, and put the crown on top.

For proper "aging", or "Q-ing", ...wrap the finished Big Mac® in a 12"x18" sheet of waxed paper as follows:

• Center the burger, right side up, on the waxed paper. Fold the "long" ends of the paper up over the top. (It will resemble a tube with the burger in the center.)
• Fold the two remaining ends underneath. Wrap snug, but don't squish it like the regular burgers.
• Let sit 5-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to "meld".
• Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds on high.
