Notes
Make Ahead: You can prep the sauce and chop the vegetables up to 2 days in advance. Store each component separately for best freshness.
Ground Turkey Option: Swap the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner version.
Keto Tip: Use sugar-free relish and check the mustard label for added sugars if you’re strictly low-carb or keto.
Storage: Store leftovers in separate containers (beef, sauce, and veggies) to maintain texture. Keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Serving Idea: Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for that true Big Mac flavor vibe.
