Description
A low-carb, high-protein burger bowl recipe made with lean ground beef, crisp veggies, and a creamy yogurt-based sauce. Quick, customizable, and perfect for meal prep or clean eating.
Ingredients
- ½ lb (8 oz) lean ground beef (90/10)
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup cucumber, sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup sliced pickles
- ½ medium avocado, diced
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Burger Bowl Sauce (Makes 2 servings):
- 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Dash of smoked paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up as it browns. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare Veggies: While the meat cooks, chop the lettuce, slice the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and pickles. Dice avocado last to prevent browning.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide lettuce into two bowls. Top with cooked beef, fresh veggies, avocado, and cheese if using.
Add Sauce and Serve: Drizzle the sauce over each bowl or serve on the side. Enjoy immediately or meal prep for later.
Notes
For meal prep: Store components separately and combine before serving.
Swap beef for ground turkey, grilled chicken, or plant-based patties for variety.
Make it keto by skipping tomatoes and using a high-fat dressing.
