Big Mac Pie
This was a Low Carb recipe originally but I didn't make it that way! The information on how to make it Low Carb is at the end of this review!
I was very interested in making this recipe because we love Big Mac's every now and then! It was delicious with a little "on the fence" about the pickles! We love pickles but we felt this was a little much! We would take a bite with pickle and then pick the pickle out of the next bite! What The Heck, we couldn't make up our minds about the pickles! So my thoughts are, since there was no indication in the recipe on whether to dice the pickles, leave them whole or even what type of dill pickle to use, I say use less than ½ cup and they are easily picked out when left whole if you decide it is to much! And this is coming from a pickle lover!
Other than the pickle dilemma this was delicious! The creaminess from the Thousand Island and sour cream was awesome, along with the melted cheese and perfectly seasoned beef, it made for a very flavorful dinner! Will I make this again? Yes but I might leave out the pickle! I feel like this is a "Pickle Post"
