Burger Bowls are a low-carb, bunless twist on the classic burger, served in a bowl and packed with seasoned beef, fresh veggies, cheese, and creamy sauces. This customizable, quick-to-make meal is satisfying, healthy, and perfect for busy nights or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups romaine or iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pickles or pickle slices
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, diced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup burger sauce or dressing (mayo, ketchup, mustard mix or ranch)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with diced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. While the beef cooks, prep toppings: chop lettuce, slice tomatoes, pickles, and red onion, and dice avocado.
  3. To build the bowls, start with a base of chopped lettuce.
  4. Add a scoop of warm ground beef, then top with tomatoes, pickles, onions, shredded cheese, and avocado.
  5. Drizzle with burger sauce or serve it on the side.
  6. Serve immediately while beef is warm and veggies are crisp.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add jalapeños and pepper jack for extra heat.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or quinoa for more substance.
  • Try a breakfast version with hash browns and a fried egg.
  • Store cooked beef and toppings separately for freshness.
