In The Kitchen with Dionne Z.
If you like Big Macs, this recipe from Dionne Z. is perfect for you. But if you make it, don’t expect a traditional look of a Big Mac – “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun.” However, this recipe will deliver the same yummy Big Mac flavor in a unique presentation and with fewer calories.
Dionne (who is a dental assistant at Personal Care Dentistry when she isn’t in the kitchen whipping up yummy dishes) says this is a great dish to take to Fall potlucks or for a weekend football watching party at your home. Or just make a pan of them and you’ll have delicious leftovers for you and your family.
Enjoy!
