Big Mac-ity Salad

1 T dried chopped onions
1-2 T water
1/2 C ground beef - cooked
1-2 slices American cheese
1 serving of lettuce - shredded
1 T pickle relish
Thousand Island Dressing

In a bowl, nuke the onions and water for a few seconds to re-hydrate them. Add meat and cheese and nuke a minute or until meat is warm and cheese has melted. Immediately stir in lettuce, relish, and dressing.

Tastes like the fast food burger without the bun! Fast lunch that uses up leftover ground meat.

*************

Here’s a quick dressing recipe that’s better than any bottled. Yes, I’m eating some now:

Thousand Island Dressing

1 1/4 C mayo
2-3 T ketchup (or leftover tomato paste)
2-3 T pickle relish
Dash Worcestershire
1 T vinegar (white or cider)
4 t sugar
pepper to taste

Combine all in a pint jar, cover, and store in fridge. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water or milk.

Big Mac-ity Salad certainly sounds better than just nuking left over ground beef and eating it with mayo and ketchup. We regularly have cooked ground beef on hand to heat up for quick dishes. Thanks for sharing that.

I make a similar version (w/just the first three ingredients, plus dehydrated onion), but I think I’ll try yours, with the added sugar and vinegar.

Thanks for sharing!
