Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (optional, use low-carb version if needed)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into four equal patties.
  3. Cook the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt. Remove patties from the skillet.
  5. While the beef cooks, prepare the burger sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup (if using), pickle juice, and yellow mustard in a small bowl.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the shredded lettuce among four bowls. Top the lettuce with the cooked cheeseburger patties.
  7. Arrange the pickles and diced red onion around the beef in each bowl.
  8. Drizzle the homemade burger sauce generously over the contents of each bowl. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a keto cheeseburger bowl, skip the ketchup or use a keto-friendly substitute.
  • You can meal prep this recipe by cooking the beef and sauce ahead of time; store components separately and assemble just before eating.
  • Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • If you prefer a warm base, substitute the lettuce with 1 cup of cooked cauliflower rice per serving.
