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

Method

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.
