Instructions
MAKE SLOPPY JOE MIXTURE:

- Drain off the extra grease.
- Stir in the Thousand Island dressing, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and beef broth.
- Add the broth mixture to the pan over medium-high heat and stir until thickened.
ASSEMBLE AND SERVE:
- Place a slice of American cheese on your bottom bun, then add a bit of the meat mixture.
- Next, add the bottom bun of another set of buns and more meat to the top of that bun.
- Next, add another slice of cheese.
- Top with shredded lettuce, pickles, and more dressing.
- Add with the top of the bun.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can brown the meat, onions, and dressing beforehand and freeze them for when you are ready to throw everything in the pan.
- You can dice up the pickles and add them to the meat mixture if you like.
- You can make these without the signature Big Mac middle bun, and they will be just as delicious!
- These also make fabulous sliders.
- I love using brioche buns or onion buns, but this recipe would also be great in a sub bun.
