Ingredients
  

Ground Beef

  • 1 lb ground beef lean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Salad

  • 4 cups Romain lettuce or mixed greens chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickles sliced
  • 1/2 cup cheese (optional) shredded
  • 1 pc avocado diced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup favorite dressing or a mixture of mayo, mustard, and ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Ground Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir occasionally, ensuring the beef browns evenly and cooks through completely. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Salad Ingredients: While the beef is cooking, rinse and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the avocado. Arrange these ingredients into separate bowls for easy assembly.
  • Assemble the Bowl: Begin by placing a generous amount of chopped lettuce at the bottom of your serving bowls. Add a portion of the cooked ground beef on top. Layer with cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, pickles, and shredded cheese if you like. Top with diced avocado.
  • Add the Dressing: Drizzle your chosen dressing over the assembled bowl. For a classic burger flavor, you can mix together equal parts mayo, mustard, and ketchup for a homemade special sauce.
  • Serve: Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, hearty flavors of your Burger in a Bowl.
