Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Condiments

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brown Rice: Cook 2 cups of brown rice according to the package instructions, which typically takes around 30 minutes. This will form the hearty base of your burger bowl.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of lean ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep it lean.
  3. Prepare Vegetables: While the beef cooks, halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, shred 2 cups of lettuce, and slice 1/2 cup of pickles.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, browned ground beef, shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced pickles, and top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons mustard. Drizzle this sauce over the layers in each bowl for classic burger flavor without the bun.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately or serve straight from the bowl for a fun, low-carb meal experience.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with quinoa or cauliflower rice for variation.
  • Add other burger toppings like onions or avocado if desired.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace beef with plant-based crumbles.
  • This dish is best served fresh to maintain texture and flavor.
