Easy Big Mac Sauce

Instructions
 

Burger

  • Take onion, trim ends, and slice in half vertically (sitting on end). Peel apart layers to make little 'cups'. Set aside.
  • In mixing bowl, combine the inside of the onion remains, garlic, chopped jalapeno, chopped raw bacon, and seasoning.
  • Add ground beef and egg. Before getting your hands messy, cube your cheese!
  • Mix beef well press a cheese cube inside the center. Take a set of the same onion layer and stick on each side, fully surrounding the ball. Repeat until onion layers are used (mine made 6 balls).
  • To bake, place balls inside muffin tin to hold. If they are bigger than that size, be careful of liquid spilling over and place baking sheet under.
  • *Use any leftover space in the muffin tin to roast potatoes or veggies for your side dish!*

Fancy sauce

  • Take your baby pickles and chop in small pieces, adding to a mixing bowl. Add mayo, mustard and apple cider vinegar.
  • Season and mix well. Add sweetener if desired (depending on relish/pickle choice).

Easy sauce

  • No shame in this-I actually prefer it a lot of the time!!
    Mayo, mustard and ketchup-mix well. Easy and delicious!

Enjoy!

  • Take burgers out of the oven, and carefully using a spoon, scoop out of the tin. Serve with lettuce, tomato and a drizzle of sauce. Enjoy!
    Great for everyone, carb conscious or not! Serve with buns and a side of roasted potatoes!
