Description

Keto Big Mac Bowl is the perfect way to satisfy your burger cravings without the carbs! With juicy seasoned beef, crunchy pickles, shredded cheese, and a creamy special sauce, it’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Servings

For the Beef

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for extra juiciness)
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp minced garlic

For the Salad

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 dill pickles, sliced
• ½ cup minced onion
• 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
• ½ tsp sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning

For the Big Mac Sauce

• ½ cup mayo
• 2 tbsp low-carb pickle relish (or chopped pickle + pickle juice)
• 1 tbsp keto-friendly ketchup
• ½ tsp yellow mustard
• ¼ tsp monk fruit sweetener (increase if using chopped pickles)
• ½ tsp garlic salt (or garlic powder + salt)
• ¼ tsp onion powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
   Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet.
   Cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool.

2. Prepare the Big Mac Sauce

   In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, sweetener, garlic salt, and onion powder.
   Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning if needed.

3. Assemble the Big Mac Bowl

   Lay a bed of chopped iceberg lettuce in the bottom of each bowl.
   Sprinkle the cooked beef evenly over the lettuce.
   Top with shredded cheddar cheese, pickles, and minced onions.
   Drizzle the Big Mac sauce over the salad or serve it on the side.
   Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for that burger feel.
