# Instructions:
01 -
Chop 6 cups romaine lettuce, halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice 1/2 red onion. Drain 1/2 cup dill pickle chips. These fresh components are key for your Burger Bowls: Easy & Delicious Dinner Idea.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tbsp dill pickle relish, and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. This zesty sauce will perfectly complement your Burger Bowls: Easy & Delicious Dinner Idea.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
04 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
05 -
Divide the 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce among 4 serving bowls. Top each with the cooked ground beef, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 thinly sliced red onion, 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup drained dill pickle chips.

# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to customize your bowl! Add avocado, crispy bacon bits, or a fried egg for extra flavor and texture.
02 -
Store leftover beef and sauce separately from the fresh greens and toppings in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving.
03 -
For a low-carb option, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative. For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to your signature sauce.
04 -
Don't overmix the ground beef when seasoning; this keeps it tender and juicy. Break it up well in the pan for perfect crumbles.
