These chopped Big Mac subs are really easy to make and delicious. Similar to the Chopped Italian sandwich , all of the ingredients (Cheeseburgers, lettuce, onions, pickles, special sauce, etc) are put onto a cutting board, chopped up and mixed together. Then it’s scooped into toasted sub rolls for an awesome meal. Skip the drive through as you can easily make these at home and they are just as good, if not better!
Ingredients you need for this recipe
- 1 lb of ground beef formed into 2 large patties
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese (American works too)
- 1/2 cup of pickles
- 1/2 cup of sliced white onion
- 2 cups of shredded lettuce
- Big Mac sauce
- Sub rolls

Making the chopped Big Mac subs
First season and grill your hamburger patties with salt, pepper and garlic powder then place them on the grill to cook. I like the burgers a little pink in the middle which is about 140°F on the inside. If you don’t want any pink, grill them to 155-160°F.

A few minutes before you are about to remove the burgers from the grill add 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each one and let them melt with the lid of the grill closed. It would also be a good time to toast your sub rolls on the grill too.

Gather of all your ingredients together. Then its time to get chopping!

Start off with a base of shredded lettuce right onto the cutting board. Then follow up with pickles and white onions. Season with salt and black pepper.

Next add both cheese burgers and start chopping everything together. Continue chopping until you have even bite sized pieces.

As you chop, take your knife and mix everything together so you have a little bit of each ingredient evenly distributed.

Now it’s time to add some flavor. Take the special sauce and add a nice even layer across the chopped ingredients.

Mix all of that in one more time so the sauce is evenly incorporated and scoop everything into the subs rolls. If you can find the sesame sub rolls at your local grocery store those are even better.

You get a little bit of everything with each bite. Everything is mixed together well and these are super tasty! You can also make these ahead of time and refrigerate the ingredients until you are ready to place them into the sub rolls and warm up in the oven.
