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
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, heating it until shimmering.
- 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.
- Prepare the Bowls: While the beef cooks, divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four serving bowls.
- 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.
- 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.
