Thumb my nose to the food police!

Sorry.

Mama's philosophy: Eat anything you want - as long as it is in moderation and you can't go wrong! You can live a long and healthy life that way!

Can Man is waiting for Big Macs to be at the top of the food chain - sorry to tell you this Can Man - but the Ratburger (Quarter Pounder with Cheese) will always be #1!

Big Macs can be #2.

McDonald's Big Mac

1 regular sized sesame seed bun
1 regular sized plain bun
2 beef patties (2 ounces each flattened to bun size)
2 tablespoons Big Mac sauce (recipe follows)
2 teaspoons reconstituted onions
1 slice real American cheese
2 hamburger pickle slices
1/4 cup shredded lettuce

Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the
heel. Toast both sides of the heel and the "inner" sides of
the sesame bun.

Cook the two"all-beef"patties just like regular burgers.

After the bun parts are toasted, put 1 tablespoon of sauce on
each of the heels (toasted side). Then add 1/8 cup shredded
lettuce to each. On the true bottom bun, place one thin slice
of American cheese on top of the lettuce. On the extra "heel",
the middle bun, place two pickle slices on top of the lettuce.

When the meat patties are done, place them one at a time on
both prepared buns. Stack the middle bun on top of the bottom
bun, and put the crown on top.

BIG MAC SAUCE:

1/4 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons french salad dressing
1/2 tablespoon sweet relish
2 teaspooons dill pickle relish
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried, minced onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon ketchup
1/8 teaspoon salt

Mix together and allow to flavors to blend for about
an hour before using.

Enjoy!

I'll have to challenge the Ratburger (good name. First I've heard that) status because you would have to get McD to change their ratings first. The BigMac is #1 on their list already and just waiting for it to be "official."

[Mama Mangia]

Can Man - You've never heard about the ratburgers from there, fried in that sludge they get from the drums of used oil at the oil change places (fresh from the cars - no filtering needed!)????

Geez!

The BigMac may be #1 because they sell them for 59 cents or on Thursdays you can get 10 of them for a buck ot something like that. I'm not into the all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!

I'd rather have a ratburger!

LOL

[chubbyalaskagriz]

Sorry- you're BOTH oh-so-wrong!

I'm a McDonald's DOUBLE QUARTER-POUNDER man! Remove the big, filling top-bun designed only to get in the way, and woof it down! Nothing gets my blood pumpin' better than a half-pound of ground cow and their cheese, pickles, diced onions, and a smiddgen of k/m. MMMMMM!

If I ever end up on death row (relax, I ain't necessarily got any plans in the works- yet! Hee-Hee!) I want TWO of them washed down w/ a large diet coke to be my last meal!

[CanMan]

If I were on death row I would splurge with a "regular" coke!

[chubbyalaskagriz]

'LOL', CanMan!

[Mama Mangia]

Great idea for diets fellas!

A bag of chips and diet coke - or a couple double (why not go triple??) ratburgers and a diet coke -

wow - we can all watch our waistlines that way

(grow that is!)

LMAO

Reminds me of the old joke about somebody ordering a doulbe banana split but telling them to hold the cherry "because I'm on a diet."

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Never heard that one KYH, but I love it!!! LOL

[chubbyalaskagriz]

Well, hell Brook- those danged candied cherries can be awfully fattening! Why ruin something otherwise so healthy, as a banana split?
