Ingredients

For the cheeseburgers:

  • 1/3 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 slices American cheese

For the Chaffles:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

For the Big Mac Sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon dill pickle relish
  • splash vinegar to taste

To assemble:

  • 2 tablespoons shredded lettuce
  • 3-4 dill pickles
  • 2 teaspoons minced onion

Instructions

To make the burgers:

  • Heat a griddle over medium high heat.
  • Divide the ground beef into 2 equal sized balls and place each on the griddle, at least 6 inches apart.
  • Let cook for 1 minute.
  • Use a small salad plate to firmly press straight down on the balls of beef to flatten. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Cook 2 minutes or until halfway cooked through. Flip the burgers carefully and sprinkle with remaining garlic salt.
  • Continue cooking 2 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Place one slice of cheese over each patty and then stack the patties and set aside on a plate. Cover with foil.

To make the chaffles:

  • Heat the mini waffle iron and spray with non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together the egg, cheese, and garlic salt until well combined.
  • Add half of the egg mixture to the waffle iron and cook for 2-3 minutes. Set aside and repeat with remaining batter.

To make the Big Mac Sauce:

  • Whisk together all ingredients.

To assemble burgers:

  • Top one chaffle with the stacked burger patties, shredded lettuce, pickles, and onions.
  • Spread the Big Mac sauce over the other chaffle and place sauce side down over the sandwich.
  • Eat immediately.

Notes

Feel free to double or quadruple this recipe.
I find it easiest to make the Big Mac sauce in advance and then cook the chaffles while the burgers are cooking. This looks like a lot of steps, but all goes very quickly.
