Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp worcestershire sauce
½ tsp dijon mustard
¼ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
4 cups green lettuce (chopped)
½ cup grape tomatoes (sliced)
¼ cup dill pickle (chopped)
¼ cup red onion (diced or sliced)
½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 avocado (sliced)
½ cup burger sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ cup sweet relish
1 teaspoon vinegar (or lemon juice)
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Break up meat while it cooks. Add salt, garlic powder, and pepper to the meat while it cooks. Continue cooking until meat is browned and no longer pink.
- Remove the meat from the heat. Drain excess grease from the meat.
- Add the worcestershire, dijon and cheddar cheese to the cooked meat. Stir to combine and allow the cheese to melt.
- In a medium size bowl or plate layer the lettuce, cooked meat, tomatoes, pickles, red onion, avocado, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with burger sauce, or ranch dressing, or salad dressing of choice.
Notes
- For meal prep, store the cooked meat mixture, chopped vegetables, and sauce in separate airtight containers. Assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite burger toppings like sautéed mushrooms, turkey bacon bits, or a fried egg.
- The burger sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
