Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded lettuce (such as iceberg or romaine)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
Dairy
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Seasonings (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste while cooking. Drain any excess fat if desired.
- Prepare the salad base: While the beef is cooking, wash and shred the lettuce and dice the tomatoes. Arrange the lettuce as a base in serving bowls.
- Assemble the bowl: Once the beef is cooked, spoon it over the lettuce. Sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly on top, then add shredded cheese over the hot beef so it can melt slightly.
- Serve immediately: Serve the burger bowl warm for the best flavor and enjoy the classic burger components in a fresh, bun-free way.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add pickles or onions for extra burger flavors if desired.
- This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
- For a cheeseburger taste, use cheddar cheese and add mustard or mayonnaise on the side.
