Description
A hearty, no-fuss meal that layers seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, crisp pickles, fresh vegetables, and a tangy burger sauce served over rice or greens.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) 80/20 ground beef
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 4 slices or 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked rice or 4 cups baby greens
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomato
- Sliced pickles
Instructions
- In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with neutral oil, seasoning with salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder for 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
- If necessary, drain excess fat, then push the beef aside and add cheese, covering for 1–2 minutes to melt.
- Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle, and apple cider vinegar to make the burger sauce.
- Assemble the bowls by layering cooked rice or greens, topping with beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, and 2–3 tablespoons of burger sauce per bowl.
