Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup diced pickles
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, mustard, ketchup, burger sauce
- For serving: burger buns or crispy fries (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Break apart the meat as it cooks to ensure it’s crumbled evenly, then set aside.
- In your serving bowls, start with a base of shredded lettuce or coleslaw mix. Spoon the cooked burger meat over the greens. Add a handful of cherry tomatoes, diced pickles, sliced red onions, and grated cheese on top. Customize with additional toppings like sesame seeds, condiments, or a drizzle of your favorite burger sauce.
- Finish with extra herbs, sliced pickles, or a splash of hot sauce for added flavor. For a more substantial meal, serve your burger bowls with toasted burger buns or crispy fries on the side. This quick assembly ensures a delicious and satisfying dinner.
Notes
- Keep leftover burger meat and fresh toppings separate for best freshness.
- Reheat cooked meat in a skillet or microwave before assembling bowls.
- Feel free to customize toppings and protein options like chicken or plant-based meats.
