Notes
Mason jar salads: Layer the dressing on the bottom followed by the beef, onions, pickles, tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Store in the fridge for 5 days.
Swap out the Big Mac sauce for Thousand Island dressing.
Store the salad in the fridge for 2-3 days without dressing, or 1 day with the dressing.
You can store and reheat the ground beef separately if you prefer it warm.
