Description

Burger Bowls are a low-carb, bunless twist on classic burgers, packed with ground beef, fresh veggies, cheese, pickles, and a flavorful sauce. They’re customizable, keto-friendly, and perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup burger sauce or Thousand Island dressing
  • Optional toppings: bacon bits, avocado slices, jalapeños, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. While the beef cooks, layer chopped lettuce in bowls as the base.
  3. Spoon the warm beef over the greens.
  4. Add toppings: cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, pickles, red onion, and any extras of choice.
  5. Drizzle with burger sauce or dressing.
  6. Serve warm and mix just before eating for best flavor.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef for turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat for variety.
  • Make it a bacon cheeseburger bowl by adding crispy bacon and smoky sauce.
  • Add jalapeños or spicy mayo for extra heat.
  • Try sautéed mushrooms or a fried egg for a diner-style twist.
  • Store beef and toppings separately for up to 3 days; assemble fresh before serving.
