# How to Make It:
01 -
In a skillet over medium heat, add lean ground meat and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir frequently and cook until completely browned and cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
02 -
Chop lettuce finely, or prepare grains or cauliflower rice as desired. Ensure base ingredients are ready for assembly.
03 -
Halve cherry tomatoes, slice dill pickles and red onion thinly. Prepare any additional toppings, such as avocado, cooked bacon, jalapeños, or fried eggs.
04 -
Combine Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and consistent.
05 -
Layer each bowl with the base, distribute cooked meat on top, then add toppings and shredded cheese. Drizzle generously with burger sauce.
06 -
For additional protein or taste, top each bowl with a fried egg, cooked bacon, avocado, or jalapeños as desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Customize with alternative proteins, such as ground turkey or plant-based substitutes, or swap bases for extra fiber or lower carbohydrates.
02 -
To accommodate vegan diets, substitute lentil-walnut crumble for meat, use dairy-free cheese, and ensure a plant-based sauce.
03 -
Storage is optimal when keeping components separate; refrigerate up to 4 days and reheat meat before assembly.
