FACT: Sometimes you just want to sit down and eat a big meal.
But chances are, you do NOT want that “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” feeling when you’re done … when all you want to do is curl up and take a nap!
Well today, I’ve got a SUPER DELICIOUS lunch or dinner recipe that’ll make a HUGE amount of food that will fill you up, without leaving you feeling too full or bloated after.
Welcome to your Big Mac in a Bowl!
It’s a healthier choice because 1) it has a tasty (but lighter) dressing and 2) it’s bulked up with vegetables (your choice of shredded lettuce, coleslaw, or broccoli slaw).
Big Mac in a Bowl
(1 serving)
- 115 g lean ground meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
- ½ small onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups (150 g) shredded lettuce or coleslaw
- 3 dill pickle chips, chopped
- 2 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- ½ large tomato, chopped
For the special sauce:
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp mayo
- ½ tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp mustard
- ½ tbsp relish
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the meat is crumbled and fully cooked through.
While it is cooking, mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
Place the shredded lettuce or coleslaw in a serving bowl. Add the cooked meat mixture, along with the pickles, cheese, and tomato. Toss together, and add the sauce. Eat and enjoy!
