Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle relish
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside this delicious sauce that adds a unique twist to our bowls.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease, then season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing those flavors to seep in.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped romaine lettuce among four bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, pickles, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle generously with your special sauce and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving. Take a moment to admire your creations — these bowls are not just food; they’re a celebration of flavors!

Notes

These bowls can be customized with different toppings like avocado, jalapeños, and fresh herbs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
