👨🍳 Preparation:
1. Brown the ground beef: Brown the ground beef in a large pan until crumbly, brown, and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Season: Stir in tomato paste, mustard, and a little ketchup, if desired – this gives the meat that typical Big Mac flavor.
3. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumbers and tomatoes. Wash and roughly chop the iceberg lettuce.
4. Layer: First, place half of the ground beef in a large casserole dish. Then add a layer of cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.
5. Cream it: Spread the crème fraîche generously over the vegetables. Then spread the second half of the ground beef on top.
6. Top with cheese: Spread the melted cheese slices evenly over the casserole until everything is covered – it will be beautifully golden brown and crispy!
7. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
8. Serve: Let it cool briefly, garnish with fresh salad, if desired—and then enjoy immediately!
