Ingredients
- 7 sheets fillo dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1-3/4 pound ground beef, (85/15 lean)
- 1 bag (16 oz) shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1-1/4 cups diced dill pickle
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 12 slices American cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup hamburger relish (it's sweet-found next to the pickle relish)
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking tray (rimmed 11 x 17 works best) with parchment paper and spray paper with cooking-oil spray. Lay 1 sheet fillo on paper and brush lightly with a little melted butter. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Repeat layering 5 more times (with filo, butter and cheddar), pressing each sheet firmly so it sticks to sheet below. Lay the last fillo sheet on top, brush with remaining melted butter, and sprinkle on remaining cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, cook meat until just cooked. Remove from heat and stir in pickle, onion and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir mixture until lettuce wilts and then drain through a sieve.
Place American cheese slices on top of dough. Place meat mixture on top of cheese and bake for 20 minutes until edges are golden brown.
While squares are baking combine all ingredients for the copycat Big Mac Sauce and place in a squeeze bottle.
Once fillo is done baking, drizzle with sauce and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Serve immediately.
