Description

This burger in a bowl is a healthier, low carb version of your regular burgers. Just as packed with flavor but without the carbs. Makes for a perfect high protein, low carb, low calorie, gluten-free lunch.


Ingredients

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Burger Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Veggies:
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 2 large pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved


Instructions

1. Heat up your skillet and add in beef mince. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Cook until browned for about 5–7 minutes.

2. Remove excess liquid and remove from the heat.

3. Combine all the sauce ingredients to make burger sauce.

4. Assemble your bowls. Add in a layer of lettuce, ground beef, cover with avocado, red onion, pickles and cherry tomatoes.

5. Drizzle the bowls with burger sauce and add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.


Notes

You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for an even leaner option.

Add shredded cheese, jalapeños, or mustard for extra flavor.

To meal prep, store the sauce separately and assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh.
