Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today we’re diving into something that’s a beautiful mashup of two classic comfort foods. We’re talking Big Mac Sloppy Joes. Yeah, you heard that right. I got this wild idea the other day, and let me tell you, it turned out to be a stroke of genius.
First things first, I started by browning some ground beef in a big ol’ skillet. You know the drill, just cook it until it’s nice and brown, no pink bits left. While that was happening, I chopped up some onions – not too fine, we want some texture here. Once the beef was ready, I drained off most of the grease, then tossed in those onions.
Next up, I threw in some ketchup, a bit of mustard, and some Worcestershire sauce. Mixed it all up, letting those onions get nice and soft. Oh, and I couldn’t forget the pickles. I diced up some dill pickles and threw them in the mix. It’s not a Big Mac without that tangy pickle flavor, right?
The Secret Sauce
Now, for the special sauce. I whipped up a quick concoction with mayo, some of that pickle brine, a dash of sugar, and a bit of mustard. Stirred it all together until it was creamy and dreamy. I swear, this stuff is the real deal, tastes just like the one you get at the golden arches.
Once the meat mixture was looking good and the sauce was ready, I grabbed some hamburger buns. Toasted them up a bit because nobody likes a soggy bun. Then, I spooned that glorious, meaty, sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom bun. A generous helping, because we’re not skimping here.
Bringing It All Together
- Brown the ground beef
- Chop and add onions
- Mix in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and diced pickles
- Make the special sauce with mayo, pickle brine, sugar, and mustard
- Toast the buns
- Assemble the sloppy joes with the meat mixture and cheese
- Drizzle with the special sauce and add the top bun
Then, I took a slice of cheese. I used American because, well, it’s a Big Mac, but you do you. Placed that on top of the hot meat so it gets all melty and gooey. I drizzled a good amount of that special sauce all over, then slapped the top bun on.
And there you have it, folks. Big Mac Sloppy Joes. It’s messy, it’s delicious, and it’s everything you love about a Big Mac but in a fun, sloppy joe form. I took a bite, and boy, was it a flavor explosion. Savory, tangy, creamy, cheesy – all the good stuff. Trust me, you gotta try this one out. It’s a game-changer.
