  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Big Mac Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Beef

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Bowls

  • 4 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced dill pickle (about 2 spears)
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (about 12 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Big Mac Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well to blend the flavors, then cover and refrigerate while preparing the other components to let the sauce marinate.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Break the beef into crumbles and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease to keep it from being oily.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the shredded lettuce evenly into four bowls. Top each with a portion of the cooked ground beef, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, diced dill pickles, diced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes to build all the classic Big Mac flavors in bowl form.
  4. Dress and Serve: Drizzle the prepared Big Mac sauce generously over each bowl. Serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful meal that’s reminiscent of the beloved Big Mac burger without the bun.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • For an extra fresh twist, add thinly sliced cucumbers or shredded carrots to the bowls.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Use full-fat mayonnaise for richer flavor or a lighter version for fewer calories.
  • If you prefer spicy, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
