- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- For the Sauce: 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (sugar-free if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon pickle relish
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into four equal patties.
- Cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese.
- While the beef cooks, prepare the sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the shredded lettuce among four serving bowls.
- Top the lettuce with the cooked cheeseburger patties.
- Arrange the chopped tomato, chopped onion, and pickle slices around the patties.
- Drizzle the tangy burger sauce generously over the contents of each bowl.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef if desired.
- For meal prepping, store the cooked meat, sauce, and fresh toppings separately. Assemble just before eating.
- If you are not tracking carbs, use regular ketchup and add 1/4 cup of cooked white rice or cauliflower rice as a base instead of lettuce.
