Burger in a Bowl

A Burger in a Bowl is a delicious and low-carb way to enjoy all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger without the bun. This dish combines juicy ground beef, tangy pickles, and melted shredded cheese over a fresh bed of greens and veggies, topped with your favorite burger condiments. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that’s full of flavor and easy to customize!


Ingredients

For the Beef:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

For the Salad Base:

  • 4 cups mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, or your favorite greens)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

For the Toppings:

  • 1 avocado, diced (optional for added creaminess)
  • 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 1/4 cup croutons (optional for some crunch)

For the Dressing (optional):

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle relish
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (to thin the dressing, if needed)

Instructions

Prepare the Ground Beef:

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and set the cooked beef aside.

Prepare the Dressing (optional):

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, and smoked paprika.
  2. Mix well and thin with apple cider vinegar if you prefer a lighter consistency. Set aside.

Assemble the Burger Bowls:

  1. Divide the mixed greens among four bowls as the base.
  2. Top each bowl with cooked ground beef, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced pickles, and red onion.
  3. Add diced avocado and crumbled bacon if using for extra flavor and texture.
  4. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for dipping.

Serving Suggestions:

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle with croutons or add a handful of sunflower seeds.
  • Pair with a refreshing iced tea, sparkling water, or your favorite low-carb beverage.
