Notes
I know I'm Captain Obvious when I say this, but don't forget there are 3 layers of buns for your Big Mac. Start with a pack of hamburger buns. We'll cleverly use some buns for the middle layer. With an 8-pack of buns, you can whip up around five homemade Big Macs. Simply trim the top off the top bun to level it out, then use the bottom half as your Big Mac's middle layer. Easy peasy.
