Big Mac Casserole
Description
The Big Mac Casserole uses ground beef cooked with diced onions and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The cooked beef is mixed with Big Mac sauce and American cheese for a cheesy, tangy base. In a casserole dish, the beef mixture is layered with shredded cheddar cheese and topped with frozen tater tots arranged in neat rows. Baking for 45 minutes crisps the tater tots and melts the cheese for a layered texture contrast. The finished casserole is garnished with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and additional diced American cheese to echo the burger toppings. This dish offers a baked interpretation capturing the distinct flavors of a Big Mac in an easy-to-serve casserole form, combining savory meat, melted cheese, and crispy potato topping.
