I made a Big Mac Burger…Log(?) for dinner, because why not! 🤪 A Bûche de Big Mac, if you will! It was absolutely delicious despite it’s comical nature!
Big Mac Burger Braid
- Beef Filling:
- 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Dill Relish
- 1/2 cup Onion; chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 6 slices American Cheese
- Thousand Island Dressing
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Sweet Relish
- Salt and Pepper
- Splash of Vinegar
- 1 Pastry Sheet
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, mayo vinegar and relish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, breadcrumb, salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a baking rack over top. Fold a second sheet of parchment paper in half and place on the rack.
- Form half of the beef mixture into a large, thin loaf over the top and sprinkle on the relish, onion and cheese. Top with the remaining beef mixture and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Roll out the pastry and set on a baking sheet. Place the beef patty in the center and cut off the excess dough. Spread the Thousand Island Dressing in an even layer over top.
- Roll out the extra dough into a small sheet and, using a knife, cut alternating slits. Gently spread the dough apart and drape over the beef, cutting away any excess. Bake for 12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Enjoy!
