Instructions 

1. Cook the Seasoned Ground Beef:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes).

  • Once browned, add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder (if using), oregano, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

  • Stir well to coat the beef in the spices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

2. Prepare the Big Mac Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, chopped pickles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Stir until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

3. Prepare the Rice and Veggies:

  • Cook the white rice according to package instructions.

  • Dice the tomato, onion, and pickles, and set them aside.

4. Assemble the Big Mac Bowl:

  • In each serving bowl, start by adding a base of cooked white rice.

  • Layer on the cooked ground beef.

  • Add the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, and diced pickles.

  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

5. Top with Big Mac Sauce:

  • Drizzle the Greek yogurt-based Big Mac sauce generously over the bowl.

  • Serve!
