Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the beef for 7-10 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
  • Drain excess fat, if necessary, and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
  • While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings: chop the lettuce, dice the tomato, slice the pickles, and thinly slice the red onion.
  • In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard to make the sauce.
  • To assemble the bowl: Start with a base of lettuce, top with the seasoned beef mixture, tomatoes, pickles, and red onion.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the top, and add any additional toppings like  avocado if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy

Notes

  • For a keto-friendly version, use sugar-free ketchup and a low-carb dressing.
  • You can swap the ground beef for grilled chicken or plant-based options for different dietary needs.
  • The beef mixture can be stored separately and reheated, while fresh toppings should be added right before serving to maintain crunch.
