Description
A nutritious take on classic cheeseburger flavors, this Low-Carb Cheeseburger Bowl is filled with seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, and a tangy sauce, all without the bun.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and onion powder until smooth. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season the beef: In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned ground beef, break it apart, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the shredded lettuce into four bowls and scoop the cooked beef mixture over the lettuce.
- Add toppings: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, dill pickle chips, and chopped onions.
- Serve: Drizzle the tangy burger sauce over each bowl and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Customize your bowl with extra veggies, different toppings, or dietary substitutes. Prepare the beef and sauce a day in advance for quick assembly during the week.
