Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup creamy burger sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: wash lettuce, pat dry, shred; dice tomatoes; slice pickles and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat and melt the butter, coating the pan.
- Add the ground beef, press down firmly to form a thin layer, let sit 30 seconds for a crust, then break into bite‑size pieces. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until fully browned (5‑7 minutes).
- Assemble each bowl: start with a bed of shredded lettuce, add a generous scoop of the cooked beef, top with diced tomatoes, sliced pickles, and shredded cheese. Drizzle the creamy burger sauce over the top.
- Serve immediately; optionally toss gently to coat the veggies with sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the beef rest for a minute after cooking before assembling. This helps retain juiciness. Adjust the amount of sauce to taste
