Cooking Steps
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain Excess Fat: Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. This step is crucial to keep your Sloppy Joes from becoming greasy.
- Add Onions: Next, add 1 diced onion to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in Sauces: Stir in 1/2 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of mustard, and your homemade special sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Toast the Buns: While the mixture simmers, toast 4 hamburger buns until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the beef mixture onto the toasted buns. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, slices of American cheese, and pickles.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Big Mac Sloppy Joes immediately while they’re warm.
