- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 ounces cream cheese

For the Homemade Big Mac Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons dill pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 11×7-inch (or similar) baking dish.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef for about 7 minutes. Add the diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking 2–3 minutes, then drain the excess fat.
- Add Cream Cheese: Return the beef to the skillet on medium-low heat. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and well blended. Remove from heat and stir in the dill relish.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture on top, gently shaking the pan to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until the casserole is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Make the Sauce: While baking, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with Big Mac Sauce or serve the sauce on the side. Enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped pickles, shredded lettuce, or diced tomatoes on top for an authentic Big Mac feel.
- Switch the cheese: Try American, Colby Jack, or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Meal prep tip: This casserole reheats beautifully — store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days.
