I was a little skeptical of this after I assembled it. It didn't look like much and I didn't think it could rival a Big Mac, but it was excellent and it really stuck to my ribs! I followed the directions except that I added the tomatoes to the meat/onion/pickle mixture to bake them and I used Cheddar cheese slices since that is what I had. I honestly can't believe how much it tasted like biting into a Big Mac. Even the crescent roll dough tasted just like the bread. The pickle and onion amount was perfect and I thought there wouldn't be enough cheese but it worked out well. Thank you so much for posting! This will definitely be added to the regular rotation recipes in our house!
