    Title: Mcdonald's Bigxtra!
    Categories: Burgers, Copycat, Mcdonalds
    Yield: 1 Burger

    1 lg Sesame seed bun (4-3/4")
    5 oz Ground beef
    Seasoned salt
    Ground black pepper
    2 ts Ketchup
    1 tb Mayonnaise
    1 tb Onion; chopped
    3 Pickle slices
    - (hamburger style)
    1/2 c Lettuce; chopped
    1 lg Tomato slice
    Non-stick cooking spray

    McDonald's roll-out of the BigXtra! is another bomb dropped on the
    battlefield of the latest burger war. Burger King took the first shot
    by introducing the Big King--a pretty good clone of McDonald's
    signature Big Mac, with a bit more meat and no middle bun. Then
    Mickey D's fired back with a clone of Burger King's popular Whopper,
    to be exact. That's just under 5 oz ground beef, stacked on a huge
    sesame seed bun, with the same ingredients you would find piled on
    the Whopper--lettuce, onion, tomato, ketchup, mayonnaise, and
    pickles. Plus McDonald's addition of a special spice sprinkled on the
    beef as it cooks. It's all very tasty. Especially if you like
    Whoppers. Today the Big Xtra! is less extra, having been shrunk down
    and renamed Big 'N Tasty.

    Form the ground beef into a very large patty on wax paper. Make it
    approximately 5-1/2 to 6" in diameter. The meat should shrink to the
    perfect size for the buns when cooked. Freeze this patty for a couple
    hours before cooking.

    Grill the faces of the hamburger bun in a hot skillet over medium
    heat. Grill until the buns are golden brown. Leave pan hot.

    Grill the frozen patty in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
    Sprinkle one side with seasoned salt and ground black pepper.

    Prepare the rest of the burger by first spreading 2 ts ketchup on the
    face of the top bun. Follow the ketchup with 1 tb mayonnaise.

    Stack the onion onto the top bun next, followed by the pickles and
    lettuce. Add the tomato slice to the top of the stack.

    When the beef patty is done cooking, use a spatula to arrange it on
    the bottom bun. Turn the top of the burger over onto the bottom and
    serve.
