Calories: 506kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon optional
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- ¼ large red onion
- ½ cup sliced pickles
- ½ cup diced tomatoes optional
- 1 avocado optional
- ½ cup Big Mac sauce or thousand island dressing
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking it apart and turning often as it cooks, until browned.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper and continue to cook until cooked through. Optionally, you can drain off some of the rendered fat.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate until you're ready to assemble the Big Mac bowls.
- Prep the salad ingredients: Chop the lettuce, cut the bacon into bite sized pieces, peel and and dice the onion. If using, dice the tomatoes and peel, pit and chop the avocado.
- Stir or whisk the Big Mac sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. ⅓ cup mayo, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons pickle relish, 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes, and salt and pepper to your taste.
- Divide the lettuce among four large bowls. Top with beef and all other toppings. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and enjoy!
