Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup dill pickles, chopped

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

- Assemble your bowls. Start with a big bed of chopped romaine lettuce. Top with the warm ground beef, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheddar, and chopped pickles.
- Drizzle the Big Mac sauce generously over everything. Finish it off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for that authentic touch.
