Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded or sliced (cheddar or American)
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 2 cups lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup burger sauce (ketchup and mayo mix or your favorite)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add the ground beef and break it into chunks.
- Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until browned and some pieces develop crisp edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper while cooking.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the beef rest for a minute, then divide the meat evenly among bowls.
- Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, pickles, and onions. Sprinkle cheese over the hot beef so it softens.
- Drizzle each bowl with about 1 tablespoon of burger sauce or to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For a lighter bowl, swap ground beef for ground turkey or a plant-based option. Adjust toppings as desired to make it kid-friendly.
