No need for a bun here – we’re keeping it light and fresh with a base of crisp romaine lettuce, topped with savory seasoned ground beef, creamy avocado, zesty red onion, and a drizzle of irresistible sauce. Trust me you guys, this is better (and way easier) than any burger!

Here’s The List Of Ingredients

For The Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado mayonnaise is a great choice)
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• A pinch red pepper flakes
• A pinch sea salt

For The Bowls

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 3 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 heads romaine lettuce 
• 1/2 avocado 
• 1/4 red onion 
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese

Here’s How To Make These Easy Hamburger Bowls

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise (avocado mayo is a great option), 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 teaspoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of dill pickle relish, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth. Set aside.

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef until fully cooked. While cooking, sprinkle 3 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the meat. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.

1. Prepare the Base: Wash and roughly chop 2 heads of romaine lettuce. Divide the lettuce evenly among serving bowls, creating a bed for the rest of the ingredients.
2. Assemble the Bowls Add 1/4 of the cooked and seasoned ground beef to each bowl, on top of the bed of lettuce. Top the ground beef with sliced red onion, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese (any kind you prefer).

1. Drizzle with Sauce: Give the sauce a quick stir, then drizzle it generously over each assembled bowl, allowing it to cascade over the toppings.
2. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Easy Hamburger Bowls immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the delicious flavors and customize their bowls with additional toppings if desired.
