Keto Big Mac Bowl
Description
This Keto Big Mac Bowl replicates the flavors of a Big Mac sandwich using ground beef seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper, cooked with diced onions. The beef mixture is layered over lightly sautéed shredded cabbage, replacing traditional burger buns to reduce carbohydrates.
The bowl is topped with shredded cheddar cheese and dill pickle slices, offering texture contrasts and the familiar savory tang from the pickles. A special sauce made with mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder adds a creamy, sharp finish that mimics the iconic Big Mac dressing.
This dish serves as a hearty, flavorful low-carb meal, combining tender meat, crunchy cabbage, sharp cheese, and a tangy sauce to evoke the classic burger experience without bread. It can be served immediately after assembly for best texture.
