Notes

  • When you are meal planning, if you plan one night of burgers, double the amount so you can make this later in the week!
  • You can substitute the iceberg with romaine if you prefer and use your choice of cheese if you don't care as much about that authentic Mickey D's taste.
  • This recipe is easy to scale up or down depending on how many people you are feeding.
