Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables

  • 4 cups chopped lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Condiments and Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and onions, and slice the pickles. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Place the chopped lettuce in individual serving bowls. Spoon the cooked ground beef evenly over the lettuce. Top with diced tomatoes, onions, sliced pickles, and shredded cheese.
  4. Add Condiments: Drizzle your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise over the assembled bowl for added flavor.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve your burger in a bowl immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings according to your preference, such as adding avocado or bacon.
  • For a healthier option, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • To make it keto-friendly, omit high-sugar condiments and focus on fresh, low-carb toppings.
  • Use sharp cheddar or your favorite cheese for a richer flavor.
  • This meal is suitable for those avoiding gluten and low in carbohydrates because it excludes the bun.
