About This Recipe

Deconstructed Big Mac Bowls, a meal prep version of the fast food classic.  Ground beef, potatoes, cabbage and a calorie friendly mac sauce to top it all off.

Ingredients

• 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
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 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

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.
5. Cut your onion into a small dice.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Cook the beef until it has browned and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat. Add in the cabbage, 1 tsp garlic powder, and salt to taste.
10. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. You can add a bit of water to create steam and help it cook faster.
11. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to mix. Divide the sauce into small., separate containers to store.
12. 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.
