02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
04 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder

# Method:
01 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook, breaking up the meat and stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
02 - While the beef cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
03 - Divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four large serving bowls.
04 - Top each bowl with equal portions of the cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, red onion, pickle slices, and diced avocado.
05 - Drizzle each bowl generously with the prepared burger sauce just before serving. Serve immediately.
# Chef's Tips:
01 -
- You get that juicy burger satisfaction without the food coma that hits you after a heavy meal
- The sauce ties everything together in a way that makes you forget youre eating something so light
02 -
- Hot beef straight from the pan wilts the lettuce exactly the right amount, but if youre meal prepping, let it cool first
- The sauce gets better after it sits for 10 minutes, so make it while the beef cooks
03 -
- Cook your beef in two batches if your skillet is small so it actually browns instead of steaming
- Warm your bowls in the oven for 5 minutes before serving if you want that cozy diner experience
