Why you'll love Cheeseburger Bowls:

These healthy burger salad bowls contain 30 grams of protein.

This is a very customizable recipe. You can use whatever toppings you like for your bowl!

Get kids involved! Set up a topping station and have the kiddos create their own bowls and explore new flavors.

These bowls come together in under 20 minutes!

This recipe is obviously low in carbs. If you would like to add in some carbs, I recommend serving it with chips. You can also make Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes or Air Fryer Zucchini Fries!

How to make burgers in a bowl:

This is an overview of the recipe with photos. Complete instructions are located on the recipe card below.

Burger sauce in a bowl.

First, make the burger sauce and set it aside.

Ground meat in a pan.

Heat a pan on medium heat with avocado oil.

Add the ground beef to the pan.

Use a heat safe spatula to break up the meat.

Add the seasonings and cook the meat until it is no longer pink. It should only take a few minutes.

Drain the grease from the meat before adding it to the burger bowls. I used a slotted spoon.

Now, it's time to assemble the bowls.

Divide the ingredients evenly between four shallow bowls.

Place the lettuce on the bottom, add the cooked ground beef on top, shredded cheese, tomatoes, pickles, and red onion.

Pour a desired amount of dressing over the top and enjoy!

Meal prep this recipe:

Make the burger sauce and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Assemble the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and red onion in a separate container.

Cook the meat and let it cool completely. Once the meat has cooled, sprinkle the cheese on top of the meat. Store the meat and cheese in another separate container.

Assemble the bowl right before you are ready to eat it. First, heat the meat and the cheese. Add it to the salad and then pour the sauce over the top.
