Ingredients You’ll Need for Big Mac Pasta

Step by Step Instructions for Making Big Mac Pasta

 STEP 1: 

To make this Big Mac pasta casserole, I started by cooking some cavatappi noodles according to the package directions.

I drained the pasta and set it aside.

 STEP 2: 

I dropped some lean ground beef into a large skillet.

Then added some diced onions to the skillet with the ground beef.

 STEP 3: 

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the skillet.

Then added some minced garlic to the skillet.

 STEP 4: 

I stirred well and continued cooking for a couple minutes.

I removed the skillet from the heat and added some Thousand Island dressing and mayo to the pan.

 STEP 5: 

I stirred well.

Then added some salt, pepper and onion powder to the skillet.

 STEP 6: 

I stirred the spices into the ground beef mixture.

Then added some chopped dill pickles and sesame seeds to the skillet.

I stirred the pickles and sesame seeds into the ground beef mixture.

 STEP 7: 

I added shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet.

I stirred the cheese into the ground beef mixture.

 STEP 8: 

I added the cooked cavatappi noodles to the skillet.

Then stirred until all of the noodles were coated in sauce.

 STEP 9: 

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.

I poured the pasta mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Then sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on top.

 STEP 10: 

I  placed the dish in the oven and baked it for fifteen minutes.

After fifteen minutes I removed the dish from the oven.

I chopped two sesame seed hamburger buns into bite sized pieces.

Then sprinkled the bun pieces on top of the pasta.

 STEP 11: 

I returned the dish to the oven and continued baking until the bun pieces were toasted.

I removed the dish from the oven and allowed it to rest for a few minutes.
