Ingredients
Meat & Seasoning
- ½ lb ground beef or turkey
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Vegetables & Toppings
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
- ¼ cup tomatoes, diced
- ¼ cup pickles, sliced
- 1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
Special Sauce
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp ketchup
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey with garlic powder, salt, and pepper until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Break the meat into crumbles as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Prepare the Bowl: In two serving bowls, evenly distribute the chopped lettuce as the base layer.
- Assemble Ingredients: Top the lettuce in each bowl with the cooked ground meat, diced tomatoes, sliced pickles, and a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Make and Add Special Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the light mayonnaise and ketchup until combined. Drizzle the special sauce over each assembled bowl just before serving.
Notes
- Swap in grilled chicken for a lighter, leaner protein option.
- Great for meal prep—store the dressing separately to keep the lettuce fresh.
- Use turkey or beef based on your preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of ketchup in the sauce to taste if you prefer it sweeter or tangier.
