### **Instructions:**
#### **1. Make the Big Mac Sauce:**
To start, we’ll make the signature Big Mac sauce, which is the key to that authentic flavor. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, chopped pickles (or relish), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Once all the ingredients are combined, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set the sauce aside to let the flavors meld together.
#### **2. Cook the Smashed Beef Patties:**
Next, we’ll prepare the beef patties. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the pan is hot, form the ground beef into small balls (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons each). Place the balls in the pan, and immediately use a spatula to smash them down into thin patties. This is the “smash” part of the recipe, which gives the beef a deliciously crispy edge and a juicy interior.
Cook the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they’re well-browned and cooked through. While the patties are cooking, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra seasoning. After they’re cooked, remove the patties from the pan and set them aside.
