Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean) – a ground beef recipe perfect for casseroles
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickles
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 packet Big Mac sauce or homemade substitute
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (for topping)
  • 1 cup crushed sesame seed burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent. Incorporate the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and mix in the Big Mac sauce.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly in a baking dish. Layer crushed sesame seed buns over the beef. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Add a layer of sliced pickles and diced onions.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Once baked, sprinkle shredded lettuce over the top to enhance freshness. Serve hot with your preferred sides.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding sliced tomatoes or bacon.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the crispy bun layer intact.
