WEISEY - Big Mac Bowl

Big Mac vibes, no bun, no drive-thru, just me standing in the kitchen pretending this isn’t my second bowl.

(a.k.a. All the Flavor, None of the Drive-Thru Regret)

You know those days when you’re craving a Big Mac… but also trying to pretend you’re an adult who makes responsible food choices?

Enter: The Big Mac Bowl. Same iconic flavours. Same messy satisfaction. Zero soggy bun. Zero judgment.

This bowl is basically a cheeseburger that went to Pilates and got its life together. It’s crunchy, savoury, saucy, and dangerously easy to eat straight out of the bowl while standing at the kitchen counter saying, “Just one more bite.”

Ingredients

For the Beef

• 1 lb ground beef

• Seasoning salt, to taste

• Garlic (fresh minced or garlic powder – no rules here)

  
  

For the Bowl

• Shredded iceberg lettuce

• Sweet white onion, finely diced

• Dill pickles, chopped

• Shredded cheese (cheddar or marble work best)

  
  

For the Sauce

• Compliments brand Burger Sauce (Safeway) or

• Homemade “Mac-ish” sauce (recipe below 👇)

  
  

  HOW to Make It

• Brown the Beef

  
  

  Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Season generously with seasoning salt and garlic. Drain excess fat if needed (or don’t, this is a safe space).

• Build the Base

  Add a generous handful of shredded lettuce to a bowl. This is your crunchy foundation.

• Layer Like a Pro

  Top with hot beef, sweet onions, pickles, and shredded cheese. The heat from the beef will slightly melt the cheese, which is exactly the vibe we’re going for.

• Sauce It Up

  Drizzle with burger sauce like you mean it. Be bold. This is not the time for restraint.

• Mix & Devour

  Toss everything together or eat it layered—either way, it’s a win.

Optional Homemade “Mac” Sauce

If you’re feeling extra:

• ½ cup mayo

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tbsp mustard

• 1 tbsp pickle relish

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

Mix and try not to dip everything you own into it.

✨ Why You’ll Love This Bowl

• Big Mac energy without the bun coma

• Customizable (extra pickles = elite choice)

• Meal-prep friendly

• Kid-approved, adult-obsessed

Basically, if a cheeseburger and a salad had a delicious, slightly unhinged baby—this would be it.
