1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound ground beef 85%-15% ground round
½ cup yellow onion small diced (plus additional for toppings)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup pickle relish
¼ cup bottled thousand island dressing Kraft brand(plus additional for toppings)
1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, add the unsalted butter, ground beef, diced yellow onion, salt, and pepper.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the onions are soft and the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Turn the heat to low and add the pickle relish, bottled thousand island dressing, and Worcestershire sauce to the cooked ground beef. Stir to fully incorporate and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
To assemble your Big Mac sloppy Joes, you will need to place the bottom half of a sesame seed bun onto your plate and top it with shredded iceberg lettuce, small diced yellow onions, a slice of American cheese, 3-4 dill pickle slices, a large scoop of the meat mixture and finally a generous amount of bottled thousand island dressing. Top your Big Mac sloppy Joe with the top portion of your bun.
Repeat step 4 until all your sandwiches are assembled.

Storage:

To Store: You can store the Big Mac Sloppy Joes meat mixture, covered in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To Reheat: Reheat the meat mixture in a skillet until warmed through.

Tips:

I love the ease of using a bottled Thousand Island salad dressing for the recipe. You can use a homemade version if you have a favorite recipe. Be sure to choose a bottled brand you would enjoy on a salad.
I like to use a large 2½-3-inch cookie scoop to scoop out my meat mixture, then place the meat onto the bun. I find that I make less of a mess this way, and I can evenly portion out my servings.
