Here's the recipe for Big Mac in a Bowl. I think the rehydrated onions are what really make it taste like a Big Mac.
* 1/2 pound raw ground beef, about 5 1/2 ounces cooked weight or 153 grams cooked *
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 teaspoon minced dry onions
* 46 grams dill pickle slices or 2 dill spears, chopped, about 1 5/8 ounces
* 2 tablespoons WF Thousand Island Dressing
* 1 1/2 ounces iceberg lettuce, shredded
Brown the ground beef, drain off any fat, season with salt and pepper.. Meanwhile, soak the dry onions in a little water to rehydrate them. Put the meat in a large salad bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Toss and eat at once.
I can't wait to try this - I'm still waiting on my WF Dressings to arrive but in the mean time since I was craving a burger, I made this but instead of the 1000 island dressing, I just added a little bit of mustard...YUM! Just like eating a burger!!
How important is iceberg lettuce? Can I just use my regular lettuce?
Yes, absolutely use your regular lettuce - I think the iceberg suggestion is just because that is what is used at McD's. Iceberg really has no nutritional value though, so anything else you use has to be better.
Okay, finally made this for me and my non-IP husband and we both LOVED it!! The only down side- it's huge and while I was practically licking the bowl I realized I still needed nearly 2 cups of veggies still! Bummer.

You could try doing it with spinach instead of lettuce - then it counts towards your veggies.
