INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND BEEF:

  • It gives the main cheeseburger taste and protein to the bowls. Keep the recipe low by including lean beef. You may use lean ground beef as per your preference.

ROMAINE LETTUCE:

  • This lettuce makes the fresh base of the bowls and gives crunch. We use it instead of a burger bun to keep the recipe lighter. You may use iceberg lettuce as another choice.

REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • Cheese gives classic melted cheeseburger flavor to the bowls. You may use reduced-fat American cheese as an alternative.

REDUCED-FAT MAYONNAISE:

  • It makes the creamy base of the burger sauce to keep the recipe light. You may use Greek yogurt-based mayonnaise as another idea.

PICKLE JUICE:

  • This juice loosens the sauce and includes extra tangy taste. You may use white vinegar as a substitute.

  1. First, warm the large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef for 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

  4. Divide the chopped lettuce into 4 bowls and include the cooked beef in them.
