Overhead shot of sloppy joe sandwiches with chips and beer on a tryWhat tastes exactly like a Big Mac but isn’t a Big Mac? YUP! Big Mac Sloppy Joes. 

Big Mac Sloppy Joe INGREDIENTS

  • Ground Beef
  • Diced Onion
  • Worchestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Big Mac Sauce – Not to worry – the recipe is below
  • Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  • Pickles

Big Mac Sloppy Joes – it’s all about the sauce

Let’s face it, when it comes to the Big Mac, it’s all about the sauce. I had to play with the sauce ingredients and amounts a bit until I got it perfect. And I didn’t just trust myself to say it was perfect. I enlisted by my eager taste-tester husband who really helped me achieve the best tasting Big Mac sauce.

single-decker or double-decker?

If you look at my sandwich you can see that I made it a single-decker sandwich but really loaded it full of Big Mac sloppy joe mix, big handsful of shredded lettuce, pickles, and of course, Big Mac sauce – so I am pretty much OK with it being a single-decker. 

If you’d prefer a double-decker, feel free to use a second bun half to make that middle layer of bread/bun. 

BIG MAC SLOPPY JOES

 

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  1. I buttered the inside of my buns and then toasted them in the broiler to give the sandwich a little crunch. I highly recommend that you do the same. 
  2. A traditional Big Mac burger is served on a sesame seed but which is another thing that I highly recommend. It gives the sandwich a more authentic taste. 
  3. I used bread and butter pickles. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any round bread and butter pickles, but I did have long sliced bread and butter pickles so I simply sliced them into square pickle bites.

    Where I am from in NJ, sloppy joe sandwiches are made with cold cuts, coleslaw and russian dressing similar to the big mac sauce. I love that this is a little bit of both sloppy joe versions!
