If you love a good burger but are looking to skip the bun, this burger in a bowl is the perfect solution! It’s the best way to enjoy all the savory, juicy goodness of a classic burger without the carbs. Whether you’re following a low-carb diet or just want a healthier twist, this bowl has got you covered.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (for 4 servings)
  • 4 cups lettuce (chopped, about 1 head of Romaine or 4 cups of mixed greens)
  • 1 medium tomato (sliced)
  • 1 small onion (sliced)
  • 4–6 pickles (sliced)
  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Low-carb sauce (optional, around 2 tbsp per bowl)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef
    Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. You want it nice and crispy on the outside. Don’t forget to season with a little salt and pepper for extra flavor.

  2. Prepare the Veggies
    While the beef is cooking, wash and chop your lettuce, tomato, and onion. Slice the pickles too, so they’re ready to go.

  3. Assemble the Bowl
    Once the beef is cooked and your veggies are prepped, it’s time to build your bowl. Start with a base of lettuce, and then pile on your cooked beef. Add the tomatoes, onions, and pickles, and top it all off with a slice of cheese (melted, if you prefer!).

  4. Drizzle with Sauce
    If you like, drizzle some low-carb burger sauce or a simple mayo-ketchup mix over the top to add extra flavor. Mix it all together or keep it layered—it’s up to you!

Notes

  • If you want to make this bowl even more filling, consider adding avocado slices or a hard-boiled egg for extra healthy fats and protein.
  • You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef if you’re looking for a lighter option, but be sure to season it well to keep the flavor strong.
  • For extra crunch, add a handful of crispy bacon bits!
