Ingredients
For the Flatbreads
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Flatbreads (store-bought naan or flatbread works great)
Shredded lettuce
Sliced pickles
Sliced red onion
For the Big Mac Sauce
½ cup mayo
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp white vinegar
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a small bowl, mix together all Big Mac sauce ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of Big Mac sauce over each flatbread.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the flatbreads, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are crisp.
Remove from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, and red onion.
Slice and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Big Mac Flatbread
Want it extra crispy? Pre-bake the flatbread for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings.
Feeding a crowd? Double the sauce — it disappears fast.
Make it lighter: Use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
Add sesame seeds to the crust before baking for that true burger vibe.
