Ingredients
Scale
Big Mac Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup dill pickle relish
- 2 Tablespoons finely minced white onion (or dried minced onion)
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Burger and Bowls
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped romaine lettuce
- Freshly grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Sliced cherry tomatoes
- Sliced dill pickles
- Cooked potato wedges or French fries
- Sliced red onion (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish, finely minced white onion, yellow mustard, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined. Cover and refrigerate the sauce while preparing the rest of the meal.
- Cook the Burger: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced white onion and ground beef. Cook and crumble the beef until it’s fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Season the Beef: Reduce the heat to low, then season the cooked ground beef with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly and continue cooking on low for an additional 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked beef evenly among four medium-sized bowls. Top each bowl with chopped romaine lettuce, freshly grated cheddar cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced dill pickles, and cooked potato wedges or French fries. Add sliced red onion if desired.
- Add the Sauce and Serve: Drizzle a generous amount of the prepared Big Mac sauce over each bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy your cheeseburger bowls!
