A couple of months ago I tried to make a Budeweiser. What I ended up with wasn't Budweiser, but it was a pretty good Lager that was thoroughly enjoyed by all and only lasted a day or two. It was pretty simple to make, 6 # Pilsener Malt, 2 # rice syrup solids, 1/4 ounce Nugget for Bittering, 1/4 Hallertau for flavor/aroma. I used WPL810 yeast, 1 week primary, 2 weeks secondary, 3 weeks bottle conditioning. Didn't exactly "Lager" the beer, but primary and secondary were both in the low 50s, maybe as low as the 40s some nights, I didn't worry too much about the temperature just set the beer out in the cold garage with some old clothes thrown over to keep the light out of the carboys.
If you want a recipe that your BMC drinking friends will like, I would suggest looking at some of the recipes in the American Ale category. Biermuncher's Aberdeen Brewery - Session Haus Ale I know from experience is very tastey, and I've tried Evan's Sweet Baby Jesus in the beer swap. Your friends would like either one of them I'm sure. I hear really good things said about Ed Wort's Bee Cave Haus Ale as well but I haven't tried it yet.
I think you might also like my Coldwater 420 recipe. We'll I'm sure craft brewers would enjoy it, I think BMC drinkers might prefer one of the others.
If I were you, I'd try Biermuncher's Haus Ale - can't go wrong with that one.
