Notes

  • You can make this with ground chicken or turkey if you prefer. Just be aware if you substitute the ground beef for a different meat, it will not taste quite as Big Mac like.
  • Add other toppings if you want like tomatoes and chopped raw onions.
  • If you aren't a fan of onions you can skip them.
