Mcdonald's Food Recipe

McDonalds® regular Hamburger ingredients:
1 -Pound ground chuck (80% lean) 10 -Small hamburger buns
 10 -Hamburger dill slices
 10 -teaspoons dried, chopped onion
 McDonald's® Hamburger Seasoning
 Mustard, Ketchup ....and ..... waxed paper
 
 The Hamburger Seasoning:
 4 Tablespoons salt
 2 Tablespoons Accent (msg)
 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
 
 Mix all ingredients well in a spice shaker with big   enough holes to allow pepper to flow. Makes about 3 ounces. Use on ALL McDonald's hamburgers. (unless you're allergic to msg, then just use salt and pepper.)
   The Beef Patties:
 Divide 1 lb of beef into 10 equal sized balls. Form a patty out of each ball about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Do this on waxed paper.  Now freeze the patties for at least an hour. (this keeps them from falling apart when you grill 'em)  Obviously you'll do this in advance of "burger time". It is pretty tough to make patties this small, so if you come up with 9 patties, I'll forgive you.
  The Onions:
 Put the dried onions in a container, oh..like Tupperware...and add water. Water should be a few inches over the top of the onions. (better to have too  much water than not enough) Cover, and refrigerate about 1/2 hour. Drain the liquid, and BAM...you have McDonald's little baby onions.  Cover again and refrigerate until 'burger time".
  The Pickles:
 McDonald's® pickle slices are unique in flavor, very sour dills. The only product I know of that comes close to the distinctive flavor is HEINZ Genuine Dills. (original sour dill.) But they don't come in slices, so slice your own VERY thin. I can't do it very well with a knife, so I use a K-tel  "dial-a-slice" home vegetable slicer. ALSO....Vlasic "original" dills have that tart flavor. Make sure they're not "kosher" dills. Wal-Mart®  carries Vlasic ORIGINAL dills, and you have to slice those too. (****note, these pickles are pretty small, so slice at an angle....you'll get bigger dill... [continues]
