For the Big Mac sauce:

Half cup mayonnaise
One tsp yellow mustard
One tbsp pickle juice
One tsp apple cider vinegar
One-eighth tsp salt
Half tsp paprika
Half tsp garlic powder
Half tsp onion powder

Method:

Firstly, cook the pasta according to packaging instructions and fry the Heck burgers in a little oil until golden. Break up the burgers into small bite-size chunks.

Prepare the croutons by tossing the burger bun cubes in the olive oil and coating them evenly in the herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Bake them at 160C for 10-15 minutes or until crispy, turning them halfway through. For the Big Mac sauce, simply combine all ingredients in a small bowl or jug.

Heat your oven to 190C. In an oven-proof dish, evenly coat the cooked pasta in the sauce, then stir in the tomatoes, croutons and burger pieces. Cover with shredded cheese and bake at 190C for 12-15 minutes.
