Notes
Make your own Big Mac sauce using light mayo, ketchup, relish, white onion, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
Substitute the ground beef for ground turkey or ground chicken.
Enjoy a low-carb meal by swapping out the sesame seed buns for lettuce wraps.
Store all your ingredients separately in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat the burger patties then assemble your burgers.
Freeze the burger patties cooked or uncooked for up to 4 months with a piece of parchment or wax paper in between each patty so they don’t stick together.
