03 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder

# Directions:
01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until fully browned, then drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - While the beef cooks, arrange the chopped lettuce, halved tomatoes, diced onion, sliced pickles, and shredded cheese evenly across 4 serving bowls.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, paprika, and white vinegar. Adjust seasoning to taste.
04 - Divide the cooked ground beef mixture over the prepared salad bases.
05 - Drizzle the burger sauce generously over each bowl. Top with preferred optional toppings such as bacon, avocado, jalapeños, or sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the indulgent taste of a bacon double cheeseburger without the heavy carbs from the bun.
- It is a total lifesaver for meal prep, keeping the crunch of lettuce and the savory beef perfectly separate until you eat.
02 -
- Drain the beef before serving to avoid a pool of grease at the bottom of your bowl.
- The sauce tastes better if it sits for ten minutes, so make it first to let the flavors meld.
03 -
- Toast a few sesame seeds in a dry pan and sprinkle them on top for that true bun flavor.
- If you want extra crispiness, crumble cooked bacon over the bowl immediately before serving.
