Ingredients

For the Burger Bowls

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • Tomatoes, diced
  • Pickles, sliced
  • Red onion, thinly sliced

For the Special Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon dill relish
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with onion powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Make the special sauce: While the beef is cooking, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle juice, dill relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the burger bowls: Begin with a bed of chopped romaine lettuce. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced pickles, and red onion. Add the cooked ground beef on top, then drizzle the special sauce over everything. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
  • You can add shredded cheese or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute the mayonnaise with a vegan mayo alternative.
