Big Mac Burger Bowl {recipe}

Who doesn't love a Big Mac??

I asked my Instagram community and found out 10% of people do not! And I'm honestly wondering if they were just saying that cause they are pretending to never have ever eaten at McDonald's! I mean, I haven't had an actual Big Mac from McDonalds in probably over a decade, but ya girl loves her two all beef patties with some special sauce, y'all!!

I shared this recipe on my Instagram stories this past week and my community loved it! I had quite a few DM's from folks saying they intended to make the recipe - so I thought I'd do a share here with y'all so my blog and Pinterest community could enjoy it as well!

There are a couple of awesome reasons to love this recipe. First, yes, it does taste just like a Big Mac and in my opinion even better. Second, this recipe has a low carb option. If you are low carb or you cook for someone who is low carb, you know what its like to plan dinners around different food choices. This is a recipe where you can make one single meal, provide buns for those who are not low carb, and extra lettuce for the ones who are low carb and you do not, I repeat do not, have to make more than one meal!

Alright, lets get to the good stuff!
