Description
Big Mac Sloppy Joes are a fun and flavorful mash-up of the iconic fast-food burger and a classic sloppy joe. Made with seasoned ground beef, a creamy tangy sauce, chopped pickles, melted cheese, and shredded lettuce on a toasted sesame bun, this one-skillet meal is perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 slices American cheese or 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4–6 sesame seed hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease, then add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- While the meat cooks, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the special sauce.
- Stir half of the sauce into the beef mixture and combine well.
- Add chopped pickles and cheese to the skillet. Stir until cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
- Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes while you toast the hamburger buns.
- To assemble, spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom bun, drizzle with remaining sauce, top with shredded lettuce, and cover with the top bun.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- For added crunch, top with extra chopped pickles or onions before serving.
- For a spicier twist, add hot sauce to the beef or sauce mixture.
- Serve the mixture over lettuce for a low-carb Big Mac salad.
