Ingredients

Burger Meat

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Special Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon relish
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon each: garlic powder, paprika, onion powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Bowls

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup banana peppers

Instructions

  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until brown, about 6 minutes. Be sure to break it up. Once cooked, add the seasonings and worcestershire sauce. You can prepare this in advance and store in the fridge or add directly to the bowls.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the burger sauce ingredients. Prepare ahead of time and store in the fridge or add directly to the bowls.
  • To build the burger bowls, start with a large handful of lettuce. Add your toppings of choice, drizzle with some special sauce, and mix! The beef can be served hot or cool. This is a great meal to set up in an assembly line so everyone can choose their toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You could use ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken, or a plant-based alternative.
  • Pre-make bowls for easy grab-and-go lunches.
