Iconic Cheeseburger Pierogies

This Unconventional Pierogi Recipe is Inspired by McDonald's Bic Mac

This pierogi recipe is far from traditional, as it clearly takes inspiration from the classic McDonald's Bic Mac burger. Created by Perry Santanachote at the Thrillist, the Bic Mac Pierogies are sprinkled in sesame seeds to resemble hamburger buns and contains burger-themed ingredients rather than the traditional potato filling found in the Polish dumplings.

The pierogi recipe calls for Big Mac ingredients including ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, minced onions and relish for the inside. You will also need the sesame seeds plus shredded lettuce and thousand island dressing for dipping. The dumplings are made with dough from scratch.

This dish makes a fun appetizer that is sure to get your dinner guests talking. It could also be enjoyed as a snack.
