Description

A delicious and hearty ground beef salad bowl topped with fresh vegetables and melted cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup burger sauce or Thousand Island dressing

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through.
  2. While the beef cooks, prepare the vegetables: chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the pickles, and thinly slice the red onion.
  3. Divide the lettuce evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with browned ground beef.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the warm beef so it melts slightly.
  5. Add cherry tomatoes, pickles, and red onion to each bowl. Drizzle with burger sauce or dressing just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the beef cool slightly before assembling the bowls.
  • Feel free to substitute the dressing with your favorite vinaigrette.
