Enjoy all the flavors of a cheeseburger in a healthy, low-carb bowl with seasoned beef, gooey cheese, and fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • For the Tangy Burger Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (use low-sugar if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tangy Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until smooth. Set aside, letting those flavors meld together beautifully.
  2. Cook the Beef: Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to drain off any excess grease for a leaner meal!
  3. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cooked beef and stir gently until the cheese melts into the meat mixture.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Grab four serving bowls and divide the shredded lettuce evenly among them.
  5. Top the Bowls: Spoon the cheesy ground beef mixture over the lettuce in each bowl.
  6. Add Toppings: Distribute the diced tomato, pickle chips, and red onion evenly over the beef in each bowl.
  7. Serve: Drizzle a generous amount of the prepared Tangy Burger Sauce over the top of each cheeseburger bowl. Serve immediately or cool completely before sealing for easy meal prep.

Notes

These bowls can be made ahead of time and stored in individual airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep the dressed components separate for meal prep.
