Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground beef
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup pickles, sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsps ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Warm a skillet over medium heat and mix ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Cooking Protein: Transfer seasoned beef to the hot skillet, cooking thoroughly until completely browned and no pink remains, carefully draining excess fat to maintain a lean texture.
- Bowl Assembly: Create a verdant base by spreading crisp lettuce leaves across serving dishes, then evenly distribute the cooked beef over the green foundation.
- Flavor Enhancement: Adorn the burger bowl with an array of vibrant toppings – halve cherry tomatoes, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, scatter diced pickles, and garnish with delicate red onion rings.
- Dressing Creation: Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard into a smooth, creamy sauce that will elevate the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Final Presentation: Generously drizzle the signature burger dressing across the assembled bowl, allowing it to beautifully cascade over the carefully arranged ingredients, and serve immediately to preserve optimal temperature and freshness.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose lean ground beef (80/20 ratio) for optimal flavor and juiciness without excessive grease.
- Seasoning Strategy: Mix spices thoroughly into meat before cooking to ensure even distribution and maximum taste in every bite.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat when cooking beef to prevent burning and achieve perfect browning without drying out the meat.
- Dressing Customization: Adjust burger sauce ratios to personal preference, experimenting with additional ingredients like pickle juice or hot sauce for unique flavor profiles.
