McDonald's huge test market roll-out of the BigXtra! is another bomb dropped on the battlefield of the latest burger war. Burger King took the first shot last year by introducing the Big King - a pretty good clone of McDonald's signature Big Mac, with a bit more meat. Now Mickey D's has fired back with a clone of Burger King's popular Whopper hamburger, with, you guessed it, a bigger beef patty. 20 percent bigger to be exact. That's just under 5-ounces of ground beef, stacked on a huge sesame seed bun, with the same ingredients as you would find piled on the Whopper -- lettuce, onion, tomato, ketchup, mayo and pickles. Plus McDonald's addition of a special spice sprinkled on the beef as it cooks. It's all very tasty. That is, if you like Whoppers.
1 large sesame seed bun (4
3/4-inch diameter)
5 ounces ground beef
seasoned salt
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped onion
3 pickle slices (hamburger style)
1/2 cup chopped lettuce
1 large tomato slice
non-stick cooking spray
1. Form the ground beef into a very large patty on wax
paper. Make it approximately 5 1/2 to 6 inches in
diameter (the meat should shrink to the perfect size for
the buns when cooked). Freeze this patty for a couple
hours before cooking.
2. Grill the faces of the hamburger bun in a hot skillet
over medium heat. Grill until the buns are golden brown.
Leave pan hot.
3. Grill the frozen patty in the pan for 2-3 minutes per
side. Sprinkle one side with seasoned salt and ground
black pepper.
4. Prepare the rest of the burger by first spreading the
2 teaspoons of ketchup on the face of the top bun. Follow
the ketchup with the tablespoon of mayonnaise.
5. Stack the onion onto the top bun next, followed by the
pickles and lettuce. Add the tomato slice to the top of
the stack.
6. When the beef patty is done cooking, use a spatula to
arrange it on the bottom bun. Turn the top of the burger
over onto the bottom and serve.
