Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bowl Toppings
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup sliced red onion
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup dill pickle slices
- 1 avocado, sliced
Sauce
- ¼ cup burger sauce or dressing of choice
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Break it apart using a spatula as it cooks. Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and no longer pink inside. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish light.
- Prepare the Bowls: While the beef cooks, divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four serving bowls. Layer each bowl with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, dill pickle slices, and sliced avocado on top of the greens.
- Assemble the Burger Bowls: Once the beef is fully cooked, distribute it evenly across the four bowls on top of the prepared veggies and cheese. Drizzle each bowl with burger sauce or your favorite dressing to enhance the flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the beef burger bowls fresh for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your hearty, low-carb, gluten-free meal!
Notes
- For a low-carb option, use a sugar-free burger sauce or omit the cheese.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives.
- Add cooked quinoa or roasted sweet potatoes for extra heartiness if desired.
