Description
A low-carb, high-protein twist on classic cheeseburgers! Layer seasoned ground beef, crisp veggies, melted cheese, and zesty sauce over leafy greens or cauliflower rice. Customize toppings for bold flavor, keto, or paleo-friendly goodness.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 cups chopped lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook ground beef/turkey with seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, onion) until browned.
In a large bowl, layer lettuce, quinoa/rice, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and red onion.
Divide cooked beef equally among bowls; top with shredded cheese.
Add avocado slices and spoon homemade burger sauce (mix Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, paprika, and seasonings).
Serve fresh or refrigerate for meal prep.
Notes
Skip cheese/avocado for keto. Use turkey for a lighter option. Add fried eggs for extra protein. Meal prep for 4-5 days. Customize with jalapeños, bacon-free toppings, or different greens.
