Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 cups chopped romaine hearts or iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free relish
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Onion powder to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, sugar-free relish, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Cook until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes, then drain excess grease.
- While the beef cooks, wash and dry the lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Halve cherry tomatoes, slice or dice red onion, and slice dill pickles if needed.
- For each serving, start with a base of chopped lettuce in a meal prep container or bowl. Evenly distribute cooked ground beef over the lettuce.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the warm beef. Add cherry tomatoes, red onion, and dill pickles on top.
- Drizzle homemade burger sauce over all toppings. If meal prepping, store sauce separately to keep lettuce fresh.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use your favorite toppings to customize your cheeseburger bowls.
