Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cups crisp lettuce
- chopped
- 1 cup pickles
- sliced
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup creamy burger sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables: rinse and pat dry the lettuce, then chop; slice pickles; dice tomatoes; finely dice onions.
- Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned, about 7‑8 minutes.
- Divide the chopped lettuce evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with an equal portion of the cooked beef, then add pickles, diced tomatoes, and onions.
- Drizzle the creamy burger sauce over each bowl; toss lightly if desired or leave as a finishing drizzle.
- Serve immediately while the beef is warm and the lettuce is crisp.
Notes
- For a lighter version
- use Greek yogurt mixed with a splash of grape juice instead of the creamy burger sauce. Add extra heat with sliced beef pepperoni or a dash of hot sauce. Nutrition is approximate.
