minutesI first stumbled across a version of this recipe on Pinterest a couple of years ago – and ever since, it’s been a dinner staple in our house! What I love about it, is that you can make it catered to how *you* like your burgers – because that’s what it is! It’s a lower carb, healthier alternative to a burger and I’m telling you: the flavors will give you that same exact satisfaction that a burger does. You’ll never need that dang bun again! What makes it REALLY amazing = the sauce. So don’t skip out on the homemade burger sauce! This is a great dinner option for a busy weeknight…you can even prep the sauce & ground beef ahead of time and throw it together in minutes!
Ingredients
6-8 oz. ground beef
2 small heads romaine lettuce
1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup hamburger dill pickles
1 cup sliced red onion
6 slices of bacon, cooked & chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 TB garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
1 TB olive or coconut oil
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- Burger Sauce
1/2 cup miracle whip or mayo (I prefer using miracle whip!)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp dried minced garlic
2 tsp dried minced onion
salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- In a medium skillet, cook ground beef & break it up as it cooks. Add in garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, olive oil and salt & pepper. Continue to cook until the meat is fully browned. Once cooked through, remove the meat from the heat & drain any excess grease. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl or plate, layer the chopped romaine, meat, tomatoes, pickles, onion, cheese, and bacon.
- For the burger sauce, combine all ingredients into a small mixing bowl and mix until fully combined. Drizzle over salad & store any remaining/extra sauce covered in the fridge.
