Dill pickle slices
8 slices cheddar cheese
Special Sauce:1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons French dressing
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 Tablespoon minced white onion

WOW!!! De-freaking-licious! I can't believe how good these were. That sauce tastes exactly like the real stuff. Sean chose this for his special birthday dinner. It was amazing. We obviously chose not to add the extra bun and burger patty and I think it would have been way too much for us if we had. 
You HAVE to use shredded lettuce and cheese singles or this won't taste nearly as good. Will be making these again!!!
Who need's McDonalds?!

Mmm! I want to try this! I haven't had a Big Mac for years. I don't love McDonalds because I had a hamburger from them a while back and it was dripping grease. So gross.

That looks really good! I can still sing the song...two all beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, special sauce, on a sesame seed bun. Something like that:)
