Okay, so tonight, I finally made a home-made Big Mac and thought I'd revive this thread since this is where I first got the idea. Unfortunately, I personally don't have a digital camera, so I don't have any pictures of it, but for the most part, the burger was a success. I even looked up a picture online so I could see how to properly assemble it. Anyway, my burger had 2 hamburger patties with american and swiss cheese. I toasted some buns, and an extra bottom half of a bun for the middle piece. I was all out of Thousand Island dressing, so I made my own with mayo, ketchup, relish, and chopped onions (it turned out pretty good). Oh, for those of you that don't know, that's the secret sauce. Chopped up pickles, onion, and lettuce and stacked this behemoth of a burger together. It was pretty large, since these weren't McDonald's thin patties, but it piled together nicely. Unfortunately, once I had taken the second bite, it really started to fall apart. The bun in the middle started to break in half and things got messy. All in all, it turned out to be quite delicious. I think I probably should have toasted the buns a little more so they would have been a bit more durable, so I'll try to keep that in mind if I ever do this again. Also, these were just plain hamburger buns, no sesame seeds. Perhaps the true purpose of the sesame seeds is to hold the burger together through magic or something. Anyway, I encourage you all to try making one yourself.
