Instructions

  • Cook the hot dogs according to your preferred method.
    8 bun length beef hot dogs
  • While the hot dogs are cooking, spread the buns out on a baking sheet. Broil them, watching closely, just until warm and lightly toasted.

  • Remove the buns from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly out overtop.
    2 tbsp melted butter, 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Add two slices of cheese to the inside of each bun and broil again, just until the cheese has melted slightly.

  • Add a cooked hot dog to each bun, then tuck three slices of pickle into each bun.

  • Finish each big mac hot dog off by topping with shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of drained rehydrated minced onions. Fish with a drizzle of sauce.

  • Serve with fast food style fries, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use top sliced buns, if possible, as they will better hold in all of the filling and toppings.
  • I spooned the Big Mac sauce over top, but for a neater presentation use a condiment squeeze bottle
  • Recipe can easily be halved, or even doubled, to fit the needs of the crowd you're serving
