- Salt & pepper to taste
Vegetables and Toppings
- 4 cups chopped lettuce
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup pickles, sliced
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Special Sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until the meat is fully browned and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Prepare the bowls: Divide the chopped lettuce evenly among 2 to 3 serving bowls. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked meat: Spoon the warm seasoned ground meat on top of the vegetable base in each bowl.
- Make and drizzle the special sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and mayonnaise. Drizzle this sauce over each bowl just before serving to add creamy, tangy flavor.
