Notes
💡 Pro Tips Use lean ground beef (85/15) to reduce grease but keep flavor. For extra crisp, toast the buns on a skillet with a little butter. Make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time—it tastes better after chilling for 30 minutes. Add a second bottom bun layer in the middle to mimic a true Big Mac structure! Serve with fries, tater tots, or coleslaw for a fun fast-food-style meal.
