Main 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
- Cook the ground beef: Heat up your skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook the beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to break it up.
- Drain excess liquid: Once the beef is cooked, carefully drain off any excess liquid or fat from the pan to keep the dish from being greasy. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Prepare the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
- Assemble the bowls: Start with a generous layer of chopped romaine lettuce at the base of your bowl. Add a portion of the seasoned ground beef on top of the lettuce.
- Add the veggies: Arrange the sliced avocado, red onion, pickles, and halved cherry tomatoes around and over the beef layer to create a colorful and nutritious mix.
- Finish with sauce: Drizzle the prepared burger sauce over the entire bowl, and add a final sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb burger experience in a bowl!
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken in place of ground beef for a leaner option.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if you need a gluten-free meal.
- For extra crunch, add some chopped cucumbers or shredded carrots to the veggies section.
- Serve with hot sauce or mustard if you prefer additional flavors.
- Leftover components can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
