Description
A delicious casserole capturing the iconic flavors of a Big Mac without the bun, featuring seasoned beef, tangy sauce, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup pickles, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop the onion, shred the lettuce, chop the pickles, and measure the cheese and sauce ingredients.
- In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, and sugar-free ketchup until smooth to create the low-carb “special” sauce.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat.
- Spread half of the cooked beef mixture into a baking dish. Spoon half of the sauce over the beef. Add half of the lettuce, pickles, and cheddar. Repeat the layers with remaining ingredients. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
