Burger Bowl Recipe

Skip the bun and try making this tasty burger bowl instead! It’s so delicious and keto-friendly as well! Just like a regular burger, it’s super customizable and you can add all of your favorite toppings straight to the bowl.

I went for tomatoes, red onion, pickles and lettuce along with some shredded cheddar cheese, fries, and bacon! They all complemented the juicy flavorful beef perfectly. To top everything off I added a generous drizzle of homemade Big Mac sauce. The result is absolutely to die for!

Seasoned Ground Beef and Toppings

Grab all the fixings for a mouthwatering burger bowl! Start with juicy ground beef, seasoned to perfection with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then, pile on the goodies: fresh lettuce for crunch, sweet grape tomatoes, tangy dill pickles, mild red onions, and creamy cheddar cheese. Don’t forget the smoky bacon and crispy French fries!

• Seasoned Ground Beef: Juicy ground beef, seasoned with tasty garlic and onion powders, plus a sprinkle of salt and pepper to make it extra delicious. Check out the exact measurements you’ll need in the recipe card at the end of the post.
• Lettuce: Fresh lettuce for a crisp and refreshing addition, perfect alongside the warm ingredients.
• Grape or Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet grape tomatoes, bursting with flavor and adding a pop of color to the mix.
• Pickles: Tangy dill pickles that bring some zest and crunch to the mix.
• Red Onions: Sliced red onions, adding a mild sharpness for extra flavor.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: For that classic cheesy goodness.
• Cooked Bacon: Smoky chopped bacon to take the burger bowl up a notch and also complement the savory beef.
• Fries: Crispy French fries, an iconic burger companion! I went for regular french fries, but crinkle cut fries, waffle fries, or sweet potato fries can also be used!
• Big Mac Sauce: Top it all off with some Big Mac sauce! You can also use your favorite dressing. Cane’s sauce or Chick-fil-A sauce are other great options!
• Sesame Seeds: Oh, and don’t forget those sprinkled sesame seeds for a nutty flavor and classic burger presentation!

How to Make a Burger Bowl

Burger bowls are a quick and easy dinner that the whole family will love! Just cook up your ground beef and then let everyone pick out all of their favorite toppings!

• Brown Beef: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes. Cook until no longer pink.
• Add Seasonings: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then stir to season the beef. Then set aside while you prepare the bowl ingredients. 
• Start With Lettuce: To assemble the bowls, place 1 cup of lettuce into each bowl. Make sure the bowls you use are large enough so they fit all of the ingredients.
• Add the Other Toppings: Divide the rest of the ingredients evenly between the bowls. I like to layer the ingredients in the bowl starting with the meat. Then layer in the French fries, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and bacon.
• Top With Sauce: Drizzle on the sauce or dressing of your choice. 
• Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!
