Deconstructed Hamburger Bowls
All the flavors of a classic hamburger — seasoned beef, cheese, pickles, and sauce — served over a base of rice or greens instead of a bun. Each component is cooked separately and assembled in the bowl, so every bite is customizable. The whole meal comes together in about 30 minutes on a single skillet.
Equipment
- 1 Large frying pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Chefs Knife
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef preferably grass-fed
- 1 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cucumber sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup dill pickles finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 4 tbsp burger sauce or preferred dressing
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and the chopped onions. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent, around 5-6 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the ground beef to the pan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stir occasionally and break apart the meat with a spatula, cooking until it's browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the bowls. In each serving bowl, arrange a bed of chopped romaine lettuce.
- Top with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped dill pickles in sections for a visually appealing presentation.
- Once the beef mixture is ready, scoop a generous helping atop the dressed bowls.
- Finish with a drizzle of burger sauce or your preferred dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a twist on the traditional hamburger experience, consider adding avocado for creaminess, or crispy fried onions for an additional crunch.
