Description
A simple, satisfying burger bowl recipe using lean ground beef and a homemade low-sugar sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
- For the Special Sauce: 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (no sugar added)
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into four small patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until done to your preference. Remove from heat.
- While the beef cooks, prepare the sauce: whisk together Greek yogurt, no-sugar-added ketchup, mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
- Assemble the bowls: divide the lettuce among four bowls. Top with the cooked burger patties.
- Arrange the diced tomato, sliced red onion, and pickle slices around the patties.
