Homemade Big Mac's, with Class.

I should be writing a German paper right now.

If anyone could class up a Big Mac it's Ina. The basics for a burger Big Mac style: hamburger meat, cheddar cheese, ice burg lettuce, and thousand island (aka "special sauce"). Ina helped me make that special sauce mo' special.

Thousand Island for Big Girls
(big refers to maturity, not girth-- toward size I am indifferent, but mature the hell up.)

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon minced capers
- 1 teaspoon minced gherkins
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickles
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Place the mayonnaise, ketchup, capers, gherkins, sweet pickles, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl, and stir until blended. Great on your homemade Big Mac, also great on shrimp and fish!

I don't add to much to my hamburger meat when I make these burgers, just a little salt and pepper and some garlic powder.

I do toast my hamburger bun, and I like to use my mother-in-laws roll recipe for my buns when I have time to make them, the recipe for her rolls is HERE.
