Categories     lunch, dinner

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 sesame seed bun
1/8 pound beef patty (roughly 1/4 inch in thickness)
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon finely diced white onion (or rehydrated dried minced onion)
3 dill pickle slices
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Bring a skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium heat, then place the bun halves into the dry skillet to toast. Once the buns reach a light golden color and the texture feels toasted, remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • McDonald's burger product photos show fresh white onion pieces, but it's thought that the company uses rehydrated dried minced onion, which provide a more "authentic" McDonald's copycat. To rehydrate dried minced onion, add 1/2 tablespoon of the dried onion to 1 cup of boiling water, then cut the heat and allow the onion to set and absorb the water until there is no longer a hard center. Drain and set aside.
  • Salt one side of your burger patty, then place the patty with the salted side down into your skillet.
  • Salt the upward-facing patty as the other side cooks, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, then remove from heat.
  • Assemble the hamburger by starting with the bottom bun and the burger patty. On the top half of the bun, add ketchup, then mustard, then onions, and lastly the sliced pickles. Then close the burger up with the top bun.
  • Optionally, to closely mimic the texture of the wrapped burgers, microwave your burger for 10 to 15 seconds to get that "steamed bun" effect.

REHYDRATED ONIONS, MCDONALD'S STYLE

I worked at McDonald's many years ago. This is the way that they made the onions for the burgers. I did this to go with Recipe #106882. I'm guessing at the yield but you can get enough for 4-5 burgers depending on how much you like funky onions.

Steps:

  • Put onion and water in a small microwave proof bowl. Heat for 30 seconds on medium. Let sit 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. If the onions still seem wet you can press out the extra water with the back of a spoon. Spread onion on top half of your hamburger bun.
