- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 16 oz riced cauliflower

- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 Tbsp low carb pickle relish (or chopped pickle with juice)

- Add the seasoned ground beef mixture to the skillet and brown until cooked through. Drain the grease.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it’s melted. Mix in the cooked cauliflower rice and onion.
- Top the cheeseburger casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until heated through, bubbling, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve the Big Mac casserole with Big Mac toppings: sliced pickles, chopped tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, minced white onion, sesame seeds (or everything but the bagel seasoning), and drizzle with the Big Mac sauce. Serve and enjoy!
