Cheesy Thousand Island Ground Beef Sloppy Joe That Out-Big-Macs the Big Mac

HuggedbyGrandma shows how to make a Big Mac-inspired Sloppy Joe using ground beef, Thousand Island dressing, and melted cheddar as a binding agent — served on sesame seed buns with pickles and shredded lettuce. The cheese trick keeps the meat from falling off the bun while delivering that iconic fast-food flavor at home. A quick, satisfying weeknight copycat recipe that arguably beats the original.
