03 - 1 lb ground beef
04 - ½ tsp salt
05 - ½ tsp black pepper
06 - ½ tsp garlic powder
07 - ½ tsp onion powder

→ Toppings

08 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
09 - ⅓ cup sliced dill pickles
10 - 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce, warm

11 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
12 - 1 tbsp ketchup
13 - 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
14 - 1 tsp mustard
15 - ½ tsp garlic powder
16 - ½ tsp onion powder

# Steps:

01 - Cook fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Immediately season lightly with salt.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and break apart while cooking for 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 - Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
04 - Spread cooked fries evenly on a large serving platter. Top with seasoned ground beef, then drizzle warm cheddar cheese sauce over the entire surface.
05 - Distribute shredded iceberg lettuce and sliced dill pickles evenly over the cheese-topped fries and beef.
06 - Optionally drizzle the prepared burger-style sauce evenly over the loaded fries. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for optimal texture and flavor.

# Tips:

01 - Use extra crispy fries to prevent sogginess and maintain structural integrity under toppings.
02 - For enhanced flavor, add diced onions with the ground beef during cooking.
03 - Sprinkle sesame seeds atop the assembled dish for an authentic Big Mac touch.
04 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days; reheat in oven or air fryer to preserve crispiness.
