Ingredients
  

  • 1 Beyond Meat burger [4 oz]
  • tsp salt distributed per patty side
  • ¼ tsp pepper distributed per patty side
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder distributed per patty side
  • white onion chopped
  • ¼ cup iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1-2 dill or sour dill pickles sliced
  • 1 piece vegan American or Cheddar cheese

Special Sauce

  • ¼ cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp sweet dill or dill relish
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • tsp salt
  • 1 ½ sesame seed buns 1 top and 2 bottoms

Instructions
 

  • Prepare special sauce by adding all ingredients into a bowl. Mixing well together until sauce turns light orange and refrigerate. Can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
  • Prepare all the vegetables by chopping onions, vegetables and cucumbers if need be.
  • Take 1 Beyond Beef patty and cut it in half.
  • Using a fork mold the patties into thinner, smaller patties. Top with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Bring it over to a non-stick pan (if you use a regular pan, you may want to add a drop of oil) and put the seasoned side down. Then add the remaining seasonings to the same side.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until brown. Flip once so each side gets cooked. Extra oil is really not required as there already is a lot of oil in the Beyond Meat patties. If using a different patty with less oil you may want to add a dot of oil.
  • Once the patties are cooked turn off pan and  remove one patty. Add a piece of vegan cheese to the patty to lightly melt and add the buns into the pan to lightly toast.
  • Assemble the burger according to a McDonald's Big Mac. Start by taking one bottom bun and spreading some special sauce. Add lettuce, the vegan cheese, a patty and some onion. Add the second bottom bun, you may need to cut this in half depending on how thick it is. Spread special sauce, lettuce and pickles. Then add the remaining patty, top with more onion and finally the top bun.
  • You may need to squish the burger down a bit. Pair with fries if you like and enjoy!
