Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds ground beef
salt and pepper to taste
8 sesame seed buns, 2 bottoms and 1 top per burger
4 slices American cheese
white onion, finely diced
iceberg lettuce, thinly shredded
dill pickle slices

Big Mac Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions

Big Mac Sauce

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon turmeric. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

For the Burgers

Divide 1 ¼ pounds ground beef evenly into 3-ounce portions and form into balls. Cover and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Heat your griddle or cast iron skillet to 400° Fahrenheit.
Place two balls of beef on the hot griddle or skillet. You can cook all of the hamburgers at the same time if your griddle will fit them all. Just work quickly because the meat cooks fast.
Press the ball of meat down with a large, flat metal spatula. Get the patty as flat and thin as you can. You'll be doubling up the patties, so don't be nervous about a thin patty. It helps to cover the meat with a piece of parchment paper to prevent the meat from sticking to the spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
