Ingredients

Scale

For the Burger Bowls

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickles, sliced

For the Creamy Special Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice. Whisk together until smooth and creamy, then set aside to let the flavors meld while you cook.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if desired.
  3. Prepare Fresh Veggies: While the beef cooks, chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onions, and slice pickles into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Layer the chopped lettuce as your bowl’s base. Top with warm cooked ground beef, followed by cherry tomatoes, red onions, shredded cheddar, and pickles. Drizzle generously with the creamy special sauce.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Give your bowl a gentle toss for great flavor in every bite or serve as is for a pretty layered presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
  • Allow the special sauce to rest so the flavors meld perfectly.
  • Season the ground beef well to enhance its flavor.
  • Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for optimal melting and freshness.
  • Prepare the sauce and chop the vegetables ahead of time to save cooking time on busy days.
