Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • For the burger bowl:
  • 16 oz ground Sirloin Beef recommended 93% or less lean
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 8 oz lettuce I like to use ½ butter lettuce and ½ green leaf lettuce
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes sliced or chopped
  • ½ sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 4 oz 50% light sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices center-cut bacon cooked and chopped
  • 12 dill pickle slices
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • For the Ranch Vinaigrette:
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 oz packet of Ranch dressing mix
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any grease, season with salt and pepper, cover, and set aside to keep warm.
  • Divide the lettuce between 4 large salad bowls.
  • Place all of the dressing ingredients into a jar, seal, and shake until mixed. You can also pour it into a jar or dressing cruet and shake until mixed.
  • Top with the cooked ground beef, chopped tomatoes, sliced onion, cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, dill pickle slices, and avocado. Serve with dressing and enjoy!
