Ingredients
½ lb (225g) ground beef (80/20)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
2 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ avocado, sliced or cubed
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup dill pickle slices
Optional: ½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Burger Sauce (Optional but Recommended):
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp pickle juice
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently without overworking the meat.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Form beef into 2 patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until fully cooked (160°F internal temperature). Set aside to rest.
Prepare your bowl base: layer lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cheese, and pickles into two serving bowls.
Slice or crumble the cooked burger patties and place them on top of the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together burger sauce ingredients until well combined.
Drizzle sauce over each bowl or serve it on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Swap ground beef for turkey, chicken, or plant-based patties.
Add extra veggies like cucumbers, grilled corn, or jalapeños.
