- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salad Components

Burger Sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef along with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Prepare the Burger Sauce: While the beef cooks, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and optional pickle juice in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked ground beef, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and chopped pickles.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the prepared burger sauce evenly over each bowl. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or plant-based meat substitutions for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly version.
- These bowls are great for meal prep; store components separately and assemble just before eating to maintain freshness.
- Enhance flavor by adding sliced avocado or crumbled bacon as toppings.
