Carnivore Big Mac Burger Bowls
These Carnivore Big Mac Bowls hit all the right notes—crispy ground beef, smoky bacon, sharp cheddar, and a creamy, tangy “Mac” sauce that ties it all together.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 pkg bacon
- 1/2 cup extra sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup avocado oil mayo or bacon mayo
- 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- pickle juice splash
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bacon slices in a single layer and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until crispy. Set aside.
- While the bacon cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the meat is fully browned and begins to develop crispy bits. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, make the Mac sauce by combining mayo, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Assemble the bowls: divide the ground beef between bowls, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, then drizzle with the Mac sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes
Notes:
- To make it more strictly carnivore, skip the sauce.
- For a ketovore variation, add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or red onion.
- For meal prep: Store the beef, bacon, and cheese in a container and keep the sauce separate. Reheat and assemble when ready to eat.
- Save the bacon grease to cook eggs or make homemade bacon mayo.
