Description

Golden, crispy-edged patties press onto a sizzling skillet, folding into a bed of crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, sharp cheese, and tangy sauce for each bite bursting with juicy flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard


Instructions

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat and add the vegetable oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine the ground beef Worcestershire sauce garlic powder onion powder salt and pepper then divide into four equal portions and form into balls.
  3. Place the beef balls onto the hot skillet and smash them thinly with a spatula hold in place for 2 to 3 minutes to develop a crust then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until done.
  4. While the patties cook assemble bowls by dividing the shredded lettuce between four serving bowls and topping with cherry tomatoes diced onion dill pickles and shredded cheese.
  5. Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place one on top of each bowl.
  6. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise ketchup and mustard then drizzle evenly over each burger bowl.
  7. Serve immediately while the patties are hot and the greens are crisp.

Notes

  • Handle the meat as little as possible when forming the balls for tender juicy burgers.
  • Use a sturdy metal spatula to press the patties for a perfect crispy crust.
  • Feel free to customize your bowl with avocado slices jalapenos or a fried egg.
  • Store components separately to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
