Easy Burger Bowl🍖 Main
A tasty burger bowl with all the elements of a classic hamburger, except the bun! Topped with homemade sauce and easy to customize with favorite ingredients.
By Priya Patel, Recipe Curator
There is a reason beef remains the centerpiece of so many memorable meals — when cooked well, nothing else quite matches its richness and depth. This easy burger bowl makes the most of that potential with a recipe that balances bold seasoning with straightforward technique, delivering impressive results without requiring advanced skills.
Take your time with each step and trust the process. The flavors build on each other as you cook, and rushing through will cost you the depth that makes this dish special. A little patience in the kitchen always pays off.
This recipe scales easily for larger groups and leftovers reheat well for lunches throughout the week. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste — cooking is always better when you make a recipe your own. Pair it with a simple side salad or your favorite grain for a complete meal.

Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: wash, dry and chop the romaine. Chop the onion, and slice the cherry tomatoes.
- Season the ground beef and then brown it in a large skillet on medium heat. Drain any grease from the pan. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl combine the mayo, ketchup, mustard and pickle juice. If you would like fresh dill then chop 1-2 teaspoons of fresh dill into the sauce.
