Ingredients

Scale

Beef Patties

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables & Toppings

  • 4 large lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickles, sliced

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
  2. Prepare the beef: Place the ground beef into a mixing bowl. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the beef.
  3. Mix seasonings: Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly mix the seasoning into the ground beef until evenly incorporated.
  4. Form patties: Once the skillet is hot, shape the seasoned beef into 4 equal-sized patties for even cooking.
  5. Cook patties: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
  6. Prepare bowl base: While the patties cook, wash and dry the lettuce leaves, then place them in the bottom of individual serving bowls.
  7. Add vegetables: Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over the lettuce. Dice the cucumber and add it to the bowls. Thinly slice the red onion and distribute it on top of the other vegetables.
  8. Rest patties: Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
  9. Prepare toppings: Slice the pickles into thin rounds and shred the cheddar cheese for topping the bowls.
  10. Assemble bowls: Place each rested beef patty on the bed of lettuce and veggies. Top each patty with shredded cheddar cheese and pickle slices.
  11. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  12. Serve: Drizzle the sauce generously over the assembled burger bowls and serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Notes

  • You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Use iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves for the best texture and sturdiness.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the seasoning mix.
  • These bowls are ideal for a low-carb or gluten-free diet.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated and added to salads or wraps the next day.
