Big Mac Casserole

🧂 Ingredients

• lean ground beef
• Worcestershire sauce
• potatoes
• onion
• olive oil
• yellow mustard
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• shredded cheddar cheese

For the big mac sauce, you can use a store-bought burger sauce or homemade burger sauce. You’ll need mayo, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and dill pickle juice to make the special sauce.

You can choose your favorite toppings. I use diced tomatoes, onions, dill pickle chips, and shredded lettuce.

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a casserole dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the potatoes water and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Transfer the cooked potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
4. To the skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and onions, along with the seasonings.
5. Once cooked, add the beef mixture on top of the potatoes and stir to combine.
6. Add shredded cheese on top of the beef.
7. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 15 minutes to melt the cheese.
8. Mix up the big mac sauce.
9. When the casserole is done, drizzle the sauce on top and add the additional toppings.

⭐ Tips

✔️ Cut the potatoes into small uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.

✔️ If you are making this for a potluck or a party, leave the fresh veggies off until just before serving so they don’t get soggy.

📖 Variations

The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the casserole recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

• Substitute sweet potatoes or any other white potato you like. For a time save, I love using store-bought hashbrown potatoes.
• For big mac tater tot casserole, leave out the russet potatoes and add tater tots on top of the cheese and ground beef mixture instead.
• If you’re feeling decadent, stir 2 tablespoons of cream cheese or heavy cream into the beef mixture. This makes it extra creamy and cheesy!
• To complete the big mac flavors, sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top before serving.
• This recipe can also be made with ground chicken or ground pork.

A note about the delicious big mac sauce:

My family prefers sweet pickle relish but you can use any kind you like, or simply dice up pickles to go into the big mac sauce.

For a little kick, use our spicy ketchup to make the big mac sauce. (If you prefer, you can use thousand island dressing instead of making the sauce.)
