Description

This Beef Burger Bowl is a delicious, low-carb twist on the classic burger, featuring seasoned ground beef served atop fresh romaine lettuce and vibrant toppings like cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and avocado slices. Perfect for a quick, satisfying main course, this recipe brings all the flavors of a burger without the bun.


Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef (85/15)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Bowl Toppings

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup burger sauce or dressing of choice


Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, heating it until shimmering.
  2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet along with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
  3. Prepare the Bowls: While the beef cooks, divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four serving bowls.
  4. Add Toppings: Top each bowl with halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced red onions, dill pickle slices, and avocado slices to build layers of fresh flavors.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cooked ground beef evenly over each bowl, then drizzle with your choice of burger sauce or dressing just before serving. Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, choose a sugar-free dressing or burger sauce.
  • Enhance texture by adding croutons or air-fried potato cubes to create a “loaded” bowl.
  • Substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for different protein options.
