Ingredients
Scale
Bowl Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 8 oz Leaf lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Red onions, sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
Burger Sauce
- 6 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tbsp Dill pickle juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and season it with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a spatula, until it is fully browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the Burger Sauce: While the beef is cooking, combine mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper in a small to medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped leaf lettuce evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and shredded cheddar cheese to create a fresh, flavorful base.
- Add the Cooked Beef: Spoon the browned ground beef evenly over each bowl, distributing it to ensure every bowl is well balanced with protein.
- Add Avocado Slices: Fan out sliced avocado on top of each bowl to add a creamy texture and healthy fats.
- Drizzle with Sauce: Finally, drizzle your homemade burger sauce over each bowl to add tanginess and enhance the overall flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Serving size is 1 bowl, or one-quarter of the entire recipe.
- Use sugar-free ketchup to keep the sauce low in sugar.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder when cooking the beef.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness.
- This recipe is naturally low carb and can be adapted for keto diets by omitting the ketchup or substituting with a keto-friendly alternative.
