- BIG MAC SAUCE:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons pickle relish, drained
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- FOR ASSEMBLY:
- 8 hamburger buns, plus additional bottom buns for the middle bun
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Method
- Stir the mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, sugar and white vinegar for the sauce together in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 portions of about 3 1/2 ounces, flatten each gently into a thin round without overworking it, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Brush the cut sides of the buns with the softened butter and toast them face down in a pan over medium heat until golden at the edges.
- Cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat in batches with the butter and vegetable oil, spreading about a teaspoon of mustard over the raw side of each patty as it cooks.
- Build each burger on a bottom bun with sauce, lettuce, onion, a patty and a slice of cheese, then the middle bun with sauce, lettuce, onion, pickles and the second patty, and finish with the top bun.
- Serve the burgers warm as soon as they are stacked.
