Ingredients
For the Hamburger and Cabbage
- 2 lbs (908 g) ground beef (93/7)
- ½ medium (100 g) onion
- 12 oz (340 g) shredded cabbage
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) olive oil
- 1 tsp (4 g) garlic powder
- 15 (50 g) dill pickle chips optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup (25 g) shredded cheese
For the Potatoes
- 4 medium (750 g) russet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the Mac Sauce
- ⅓ cup (75 g) plain non fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp (28 g) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (12 g) ketchup
- 1 tbsp (15 g) sweet relish
- ½ tsp (2 g) vinegar
- ½ tsp (2 g) onion powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
For the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Wash each of your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into a medium sized dice.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle 1 Tbsp of olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking. Toss the potatoes to coat and spread onto a sheet pan.
- Roast for 10-12 minutes and then toss them around and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.
For the Beef
- Cut your onion into a small dice.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tsp of oil and your diced onion. Cook the onion until it has developed a good amount of browning. We want to bring out the natural sweetness so take it past the point where it is translucent and it has a deep brown color. Adding a bit of water can help speed up this process.
- Once the onion has browned, make room in the center of your skillet and add your ground beef. Use a bit more oil if necessary.
- Cook the beef until it has browned and season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the Cabbage
- Heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat. Add in the cabbage, 1 tsp garlic powder, and salt to taste.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes. You can add a bit of water to create steam and help it cook faster.
For the Mac Sauce
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to mix. Divide the sauce into small., separate containers to store.
Plating
- This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your hamburger, potatoes, and cabbage evenly between your 5 containers. Top the hamburger with a bit of shredded cheese and a few pickle chips. Each container gets 1 ramekin of the mac sauce.

Mac sauce is UNREAL 🙏🏽 started lol’ing when I tried it, it was so on point. Definitely one of my tops so far 🙌🏽
Thank you, glad you liked it 😎
So flipping good! I was intrigued by this combo. Once in my mouth, it was extremely satisfying. I agree with Diego, the sauce is phenomenal.
Was skeptical with the sauce (Greek yogurt)? But the moment it hit my lips, skepticism was subsided.
glad you liked it 😎
These came out AMAZING!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😎
Do you warm it up as is all together? So you’re warming the cabbage and pickles and everything?
not the pickles or sauce but everything else
can you freeze this meal and if so how long would it last do you think ?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing this one
may i ask why you wouldnt freeze this thankyou
The cabbage and sauce aren’t very freezer friendly
I enjoy your videos and look up the recipes on your site. It is great to see some nutrition values, but it is missing the full nutrition label which is key for certain dietary needs. I plug your recipes into a nutrition calculator, and have not come close to what you get. Which one do you use so I could get a full nutrition details of these great recipes.
I only include the macros and calorie counts. If you need something else you would have to figure that out on your own. I don’t believe there is much value in including anything else. I use MyFitnessPal to give estimates
Love this recipe. I would eat it every week. The sauce is 🔥🔥 and I could put that shot on everything
glad you enjoyed it!!
Former Skeptic here, you might ask yourself “do I even like Big Mac’s?”. It doesn’t matter because this one is delicious make sure not to skip out. Also this recipe is a little less labour intensive than others which is a bonus.
glad you enjoyed it 😎
What could be an alternative to cabbage for this recipe?
any vegetable you prefer would work
Amazing!! I didn’t give it 5 stars because my cabbage didn’t turn out well for me, I’d make this recipe again with carrots and cucumbers
The one that started it all for me!
This is the first one I made from your page, and I gotta say it was awesome. I added some hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce to the Big Mac sauce and it was outstanding. I will definitely be trying more recipes from you great job!
Great, simple satisfying, and fills that take out craving without leaving home.
Good recipe although without an Air fryer the potatoes needed a lot more baking and shuffling to get the job done
is the weight of potatoes before or after cooking them as i had around 320g of potatoes after cooking so wasnt many split in the 5 portions, other than that a great meal prep and now my go to
