Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into four equal patties.
  2. Cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  3. During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese.
  4. While the beef cooks, prepare the sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the shredded lettuce among four serving bowls.
  6. Top the lettuce with the cooked cheeseburger patties.
  7. Arrange the chopped tomato, chopped onion, and pickle slices around the patties.
  8. 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.
