Notes

Be sure to check Variations, Expert Tips, and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Storage: This recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. I recommend that you store these sandwiches unassembled.

Make ahead: You can brown the meat, onions, and dressing beforehand and freeze for when you are ready to throw everything in the pan.

You can make these without the signature Big Mac middle bun and they will be just as delicious.
