Ingredients

For the Hamburger and Cabbage
  • 2 lbs ground beef (93/7)
  • ½ medium onion
  • 12 oz shredded cabbage
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 15 Dill pickle chips optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
For the Potatoes
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
For the Mac Sauce
  • ⅓ cup plain non fat Greek yogurt ⁣
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sweet relish
  • ½ tsp vinegar
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

For the Potatoes
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  2. Wash each of your potatoes thoroughly.  Cut them into a medium sized dice.
  3. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle 1 Tbsp of olive oil over the potatoes.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking. Toss the potatoes to coat and spread onto a sheet pan.
  4. Roast for 10-12 minutes and then toss them around and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.
For the Beef
  1. Cut your onion into a small dice.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tsp of oil and your diced onion. Cook the onion until it has developed a good amount of browning. We want to bring out the natural sweetness so take it past the point where it is translucent and it has a deep brown color. Adding a bit of water can help speed up this process.
  3. Once the onion has browned, make room in the center of your skillet and add your ground beef. Use a bit more oil if necessary.
  4. Cook the beef until it has browned and season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the Cabbage
  1. Heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat. Add in the cabbage, 1 tsp garlic powder, and salt to taste.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. You can add a bit of water to create steam and help it cook faster.
For the Mac Sauce
  1. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to mix. Divide the sauce into small., separate containers to store.
Plating
  1. This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your hamburger, potatoes, and cabbage evenly between your 5 containers. Top the hamburger with a bit of shredded cheese and a few pickle chips. Each container gets 1 ramekin of the mac sauce.
