Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 6 strips bacon
- 1 1/2 heads romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup red onion
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup pickle chips
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup relish
- 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Special sauce: Prep the sauce first. In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, white vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare veggies. Shred the lettuce, thinly slice red onion, slice avocado and cut cherry tomatoes in half.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Crumble or chop bacon.
- To the same skillet, add ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir to coat the meat in the seasoning. Crumble with wooden spoon and cook until browned through.
- Assemble. Start with a bed of shredded romaine lettuce. Add 1/4 of the ground beef to each bowl. Divide the remaining toppings evenly amongst the bowls. Drizzle with a generous amount of special sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.
