Instructions

Preheat Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop pan, heat the olive oil on medium-high.
Season the Beef: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Shape Patties: Form the seasoned ground beef into four large, evenly thick patties to ensure uniform cooking.
Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill or heated pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness.
Prepare Vegetables: While the patties cook, dice the tomatoes and cucumber, thinly slice the red onions, shred the lettuce, and slice the avocado.
Rest the Burgers: Remove the cooked patties from heat and let them rest for one minute to retain juices.
Assemble Bowls: Begin by placing shredded lettuce evenly into each bowl.
Add Burger Patty: Place one grilled burger patty on top of the lettuce in each bowl.
Add Fresh Vegetables: Surround the patty with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and sliced red onions. Arrange avocado slices on top.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or feta cheese over the assembled bowl.
Drizzle Sauce: Drizzle one tablespoon of burger sauce or your favorite creamy dressing over each bowl to enhance flavor.
Optional Serving Style: If desired, place a large lettuce leaf or a slice of bread under the burger patty for a traditional or low-carb alternative serving style.
