- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped pickles, and a drizzle of the remaining Big Mac sauce.
Christina's Notes
Drain the ground beef thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
Crisp the hash brown patties before adding the beef mixture for the best texture.
Double the sauce if you'd like extra for serving.
Add the lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles after baking to maintain their freshness and crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For best results, store the toppings separately and add them just before serving.
Reheat the casserole base in a 325 degree F oven until warmed through.
