There’s something so satisfying about enjoying all the flavors of a burger—but in a bowl!

This burger bowl with ground beef has become my go-to when I want a hearty, low-carb meal that still checks all the comfort food boxes.

It’s packed with seasoned beef, crunchy veggies, creamy avocado, and a sweet-savory burger sauce that ties it all together.

Why I Love This Recipe

All the best burger elements—minus the bun!

Quick, filling, and loaded with protein and fresh veggies.

Perfect for meal prep, lunch bowls, or easy dinners.

That homemade burger sauce? Totally addictive.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Lean ground beef – savory, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.

Romaine lettuce – crisp and fresh base that holds up well.

Burger sauce – tangy, creamy, slightly sweet, and packed with umami.

Avocado, red onion, pickles, cherry tomatoes – classic burger toppings turned fresh and colorful.

Seasonings – garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs bring the beef to life.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Drain any excess fat from the beef so the bowl doesn’t get soggy.

Let the beef cool slightly before assembling to avoid wilting the lettuce.

Double the sauce—it stores well and goes with everything.

Use cherry tomatoes for their natural sweetness and juicy pop.

How to Make Burger Bowls

Step 1: Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.

Season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Cook for about 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.

Drain excess liquid and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Burger Sauce

In a small bowl, mix sour cream, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.

Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prep the Bowl Ingredients

Slice the avocado, red onion, and pickles. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Chop the romaine lettuce and place into serving bowls.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Start with a bed of chopped lettuce.

Top with a generous spoonful of cooked ground beef.

Layer on the sliced avocado, red onion, pickles, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 5: Add the Sauce

Drizzle each bowl with burger sauce.

Finish with an extra sprinkle of salt and black pepper, if desired.

What to Serve It With

Roasted sweet potato wedges for a hearty side.

Grilled corn or zucchini for a summery touch.

Toasted pita chips if you’re craving crunch.

Pickled jalapeños or banana peppers for some heat.

Variations / Substitutions

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

Swap maple syrup for honey or omit for a low-sugar option.

Add shredded cheese or a fried egg for extra indulgence.

Replace romaine with baby spinach or arugula for a different base.

Storage & Leftovers

Store the cooked beef and burger sauce in separate airtight containers.

Keep chopped veggies fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.

Reheat the beef gently before serving, or enjoy it cold.

FAQs

Can I use different ground meat?
Yes! Ground chicken, turkey, or even plant-based crumbles all work great.

Is the sauce spicy?
No, it’s creamy and tangy with just a touch of sweetness. Add hot sauce if you like spice!

Can I prep this ahead of time?
Absolutely—just store everything separately and assemble when ready.

What’s a good keto option for the sauce?
Use sugar-free ketchup and skip the maple syrup.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Swap sour cream for a dairy-free version or use avocado-based dressing.

Do I have to use pickles?
Not at all! Feel free to swap them with olives or omit completely.

Is this gluten-free?
Yes—just make sure your soy sauce is gluten-free or use tamari.

Final Thoughts

This burger bowl with ground beef gives you everything you crave in a burger—flavor, texture, comfort—without the carb-heavy bun.

It’s fresh, fast, and endlessly customizable, making it perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or casual weekend lunches.

Give it a try, and I promise this bowl will earn a permanent spot in your rotation.
