Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.

- Season the mixture: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, yellow mustard, and water. Cook everything together for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the casserole: Transfer the beef and potato mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can add pickles or lettuce for an extra “Big Mac” flavor!
- For a richer taste, swap the olive oil for butter when sautéing the onions.
- This casserole can be prepped ahead of time and baked when ready to serve.
