Ingredients:

• For the Beef:
  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean for the best flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
• For the Big Mac Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayo (use avocado mayo for a healthier option)
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp pickle relish (sugar-free)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Bowl:
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickles
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Make the Big Mac Sauce: While the beef is cooking, prepare the Big Mac sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
3. Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, start with a layer of shredded lettuce. Top with the cooked ground beef, making sure to distribute it evenly.
4. Add the Toppings: Add a few slices of pickles, diced onions, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese (if using).
5. Drizzle with Big Mac Sauce: Generously drizzle the Big Mac sauce over the top of your bowl for that signature flavor.
6. Serve and Enjoy! Give everything a good mix before digging in, or leave the layers intact for that classic Big Mac experience.

Tips & Variations:

• If you want extra crunch, top your bowl with some crispy bacon bits.
• Want a little more veggie action? Add in some diced tomatoes or avocado slices.
• You can also swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a leaner option.
