Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped (romaine or iceberg)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Whole30 compliant)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Step 2: While the beef is cooking, prepare the "Special Sauce" by mixing the mayonnaise with any desired spices or herbs in a bowl. You can add garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Step 3: Once the beef is cooked through, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Step 4: In serving bowls, layer the chopped lettuce as the base. Top with cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and dill pickles.
- Step 5: Drizzle the "Special Sauce" over each loaded burger bowl and serve immediately for a fresh and hearty meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Loaded Burger Bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping the "Special Sauce" separate until ready to eat.
- When reheating, gently warm the beef in a skillet over low heat to preserve its texture, and avoid microwaving the entire bowl to prevent the lettuce and avocado from becoming wilted.
- Serve your Loaded Burger Bowls with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a refreshing cucumber salad for a delightful balance of flavors and textures.
- For an extra kick in your "Special Sauce," consider adding fresh herbs like dill or cilantro, which can elevate the taste and add a burst of color to your dish!
