Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup Big Mac style sauce (or Thousand Island dressing)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce (for serving)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sautéing Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Browning the Beef: Add the ground beef to your skillet, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Once cooked, drain excess fat for a leaner finish.
  3. Whisking the Creamy Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. This mixture is what binds your casserole and makes it rich!
  4. Prepping the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) so it’s nice and hot for the casserole to get bubbly and delicious.
  5. Layering the Goodness: Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly into a baking dish. Drizzle with Big Mac sauce, sprinkle the diced pickles throughout, then top with your shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Final Assembly: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese topping, allowing it to seep through and connect all those layers of flavor.
  7. Baking to Perfection: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  8. Garnishing for Presentation: Once baked, take it out, and let it cool for just a minute. Garnish with shredded lettuce, an extra drizzle of Big Mac sauce, and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  9. Serving Hot: Serve this casserole warm, diving in with forks and savoring every bite. It’s a delightful way to share this twist on a classic with friends and family!

Notes

Drain excess fat from the ground beef and let the dish sit for a few minutes after baking for easier serving. Feel free to add your favorite toppings or make it vegetarian.
