Description

A satisfying low-carb meal prep option featuring ground beef, crispy bacon, and a creamy burger sauce, packed into a delicious bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 cups lettuce or 2 cups cauliflower/quinoa/rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • ½ cup dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 fried eggs (runny yolks recommended)
  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • ½ tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a dry skillet until hot, add the beef and cook until deep brown, breaking it up once crispy edges form.
  2. While the beef cooks, fry the bacon until crispy and drain on paper towels.
  3. Prepare the burger sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  4. Chop the lettuce or warm the cauliflower/quinoa/rice and arrange in bowls.
  5. Top the base with browned beef, shredded cheese, cherry tomatoes, dill pickles, red onion, avocado, jalapeño slices, and crumbled bacon.
  6. Fry the eggs and place on top of the mixture; add a dollop of sauce.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan while cooking the beef for optimal crispiness. Store components separately for best results.
