High protein, easy, and delicious burger bowls! The ultimate easy weeknight healthy dinner. We have this on rotation quite often; it’s so satisfying and just so easy to make.

The mayo-free burger sauce is SO yummy. I like to use grillo’s pickle de gallo (like a pickle salsa) for oven more flavor. If you’re just using diced pickles, you could add some onion and garlic to the mix if you want! But totally not necessary. You really just make the simple sauce to taste! It holds up great for meal prep leftovers, too!

We sneak in some extra veggies in the burger meat mix, but you could also of course add any other veggies to your bowls! Think tomatoes, extra peppers, avocado, spinach, etc.

They’re customizable and straight-forward. I have some basic instructions below, but this is mostly a “measure with your heart” type of recipe. In my opinion, those are the best kinds of recipes for easy weeknight dinners!

These bowls are gluten free, high in protein, and family-friendly. They are absolutely delicious and honestly addicting to have on the weekly meal plan!!

To make, you’ll need:

For the bowls:

• Shredded romaine
• Fries (homemade or frozen)
• Ground beef
• Olive oil
• Peppers
• Onions
• Salt and pepper
• Mustard
• Shredded cheese of choice

For the burger sauce:

• 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 2 tbsp finely diced pickles and onions, or use a pickle salsa
• Splash of pickle juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix your burger sauce ingredients together and taste. Adjust as needed.
2. Make your fries according to package directions.
3. In a pan over medium heat, cook peppers and onions in a splash of olive oil for 5 minutes. Pain to the sides of the pan.
4. Add your beef, and press beef down to flatten so it can brown better. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add a drizzle of mustard and season with salt and pepper. Flip and cook again until mostly cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Stir everything together and slightly break up beef. Pour cheese over everything and allow to melt.
7. Assemble bowls and enjoy!
