Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20, formed into 4 thin patties
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning or to taste
  • 4 thin slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups cooked white rice about 1 cup uncooked
  • ¼ cup kewpie mayonnaise
  • ½ cup dill pickle chips
  • 1 medium tomato sliced thin
  • ⅓ cup pickled red onions
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional toppings: fry sauce big mac sauce, crispy fried onions, chopped romaine lettuce, sweet relish, fried eggs, diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package directions and keep warm.
  • Form ground beef into 4 thin patties and season generously on both sides with Montreal steak seasoning.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Add patties and cook 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
  • Top each patty with a slice of sharp cheddar after flipping; allow to melt while the second side finishes cooking.
  • Divide hot rice between 4 bowls. Top each with a cheesy burger patty.
  • Drizzle generously with kewpie mayo and add pickle chips, pickled red onion, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
  • Add any optional toppings desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, swap rice for cauliflower rice or chopped romaine.
  • Components can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 4 days - perfect for meal prep.
  • Make pickled red onions ahead by combining sliced red onion with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, plus a pinch of sugar and salt. Let sit at least 10 minutes before using.
