Description
Cheeseburger Bowls are a deconstructed version of the classic cheeseburger, served without the bun. Packed with juicy ground beef, fresh veggies, cheddar cheese, and a creamy, smoky burger sauce, they make a hearty, low-carb, and quick meal option.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup pickled red onions (or raw red onions)
- ½ cup sliced pickles
- 2 tbsp relish
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeño slices
- 4 cups shredded lettuce
- ½ cup burger sauce
- For the Burger Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle relish
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the burger sauce. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and pepper until browned and no longer pink, about 7–10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- In each serving bowl, layer shredded lettuce as the base.
- Top with cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, red onions, cheddar cheese, pickles, relish, and jalapeños.
- Drizzle burger sauce over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Swap ground beef for turkey or plant-based options for a twist.
- Use dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free version.
- Store components separately for freshness and easy reheating.
- Adjust spice level with more or less jalapeños or hot sauce.
