Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey, 90% lean)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
- 4 cups chopped lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup sliced dill pickles
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 strips cooked bacon
- Jalapeño slices
- 4 fried eggs (optional)
- ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat, seasoning it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir continuously until the meat cooks through—about 8 to 10 minutes—ensuring you drain any excess fat for a leaner meal.
- Prepare the Base: While the meat cooks, chop your lettuce or prepare your grains according to package instructions.
- Prep Toppings: Slice your cherry tomatoes in half, ready those dill pickles, and delicately thinly slice the red onion.
- Make the Sauce: In your mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Bowls: Start with a layer of your lettuce or grains. Then scoop the cooked meat on top and embellish with cherry tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and shredded cheese. Drizzle that luscious sauce across it all.
- Optional Finishes: Crown it with a fried egg, crispy bacon, or slices of creamy avocado.
Notes
Customize with toppings based on personal preference; keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
