This Easy Big Mac Sloppy Joes Recipe brings the iconic flavors of the classic Big Mac burger into a fun and hearty sloppy joe sandwich. Featuring seasoned ground beef, a tangy special sauce replicating the famous Big Mac dressing, cheddar cheese, and pickles, served on toasted buns for the perfect crunchy finish. This recipe is simple, quick, and perfect for a satisfying family meal or casual get-together.

Ingredients

For the Sloppy Joes:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 hamburger buns, toasted

For the Special Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp pickle relish
  • ½ tsp white vinegar
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle relish, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through and the onions are softened, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Combine Meat with Sauce: Reduce heat to low and stir in about half of the prepared special sauce into the cooked beef mixture. Mix well so the meat is evenly coated and heated through.
  4. Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the saucy beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted hamburger bun. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the meat while it’s still hot, allowing it to melt slightly. Top with pickle slices for that Big Mac tangy crunch.
  5. Finish and Serve: Spread the remaining special sauce on the top bun, then close the sandwich. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the familiar flavors with a fun sloppy joe twist.

Notes

  • You can toast the buns in the oven or on a skillet for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of special sauce to your taste preference for more or less tang.
  • For a bit of extra Big Mac authenticity, you can add shredded iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato if desired.
  • Leftover meat mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with classic sides like fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.
