Ingredients
For the Burgers
1 pound lean ground beef
4 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon avocado oil or refined coconut oil
For the Special Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt
For the Quick Guacamole
2 medium avocados, peeled and pitted
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
For the Bowls
2 small heads romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup pickle chips
8 to 10 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Add the ground beef, garlic powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and combine well.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, then cook the beef until browned and crumbled. Remove and set aside.
Whisk together all special sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Mash avocados with lemon juice and salt until creamy to make guacamole.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced red onions until lightly charred.
Divide romaine lettuce between bowls.
Top with ground beef, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, red onions, and guacamole.
Drizzle generously with special sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
For Whole30, replace maple syrup with coconut aminos.
Lime juice can be used instead of lemon for a Tex-Mex twist.
Store components separately for best leftovers.
