Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tbsp yellow mustard

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4-6 hamburger buns

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Secret Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tbsp sweet relish

1 tsp white vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Secret Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. Set aside.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and onions. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

      Add Ingredients: Stir in the chopped pickles, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

        Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.

          Warm the Buns: While the mixture simmers, lightly toast the hamburger buns on a skillet or in the oven until golden brown.

            Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Once everything is ready, spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle with the secret sauce, top with shredded lettuce and cheese, then place the top half of the bun over everything.

              Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or chips, and enjoy your Big Mac Sloppy Joes!
