These Burger Bowls offer a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional burgers by combining seasoned ground beef with fresh toppings and a tangy special sauce. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal without the bun, these bowls incorporate classic burger flavors with crispy fries and fresh veggies for a complete and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

For the Burger Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Special Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoons relish (dill or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

For Assembly and Toppings

  • Shredded lettuce
  • French fries or sweet potato fries
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Tomatoes, sliced
  • Pickles, sliced
  • Red onion slices
  • Avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Cook the meat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and crumbled, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary to keep the dish from being too oily.
  2. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle juice, relish, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste for the perfect balance of tangy and creamy flavors.
  3. Assemble the Burger Bowls: Start with a base layer of shredded lettuce in each bowl. Add a generous portion of the cooked, seasoned ground beef on top. Arrange your preferred toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, pickles, red onions, avocado slices, and a side of French fries or sweet potato fries. Drizzle the special sauce over everything before serving for a classic burger flavor without the bun.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Leftover burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a keto-friendly version, be sure to use low-carb condiments and avoid ketchup if counting carbs strictly.
  • Add a fried egg on top for extra protein and flavor.
  • If you prefer, swap out fries for roasted potatoes or skip them entirely for a lighter meal.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference, especially the salt and pepper.
