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.
