No one said you had to : ) It sounds like you're still eating Heinz baby food and not on solids yet anyway...

When I saw this recipe I just had to try it...... and what can I say but it's wonderful!!! Not quite the same as a real Big Mac but close enough. Actually I liked it better than the real thing because it was so much more satisfying. I did make a few tiny changes being:-
1. Used a slice of real Colby cheese as I just prefer my family to not eat processed foods
2. Added a really finely diced pickle to the Special Sauce
3. Added Salt & Pepper to the meat patties
I guess the flavour of the special sauce all depends on which brands you used. I used Praise Mayo, Home Brand Thousand Island, 333 Sandwich Pickle Relish & 333 Pickles.
Great recipe jackicam, I'm going to try some more of yours!

No I don't but you could blanch the finely diced onion if you want to make it a bit milder. No need to though

Nope. Nothing. Trust me - it works. I was tempted to add something to the mince, but in sticking to the original Big Mac flavour, it needs absolutely nothing.
