Blog | Nutrition & Recovery | Recipe Burger Bowl to End All Burger Bowls
Author / Samantha Flaherty
Prep: 10 min/ Cook: 15 min
Sometimes the most simple ingredients create the best meals. This recipe makes it super easy to hit your macros. This example calls for 1# of 93/7, so that is what I am basing the macros from. Burgers are a great way to get in a ton of veggies without feeling like you are eating a bland salad. In the bowl it can get as messy as you want and you don’t run the risk of everything falling off a bun. This is a great weeknight dinner because not only does it look pretty, but it is also extremely quick. Serves well with air fryer french fries or oven roasted potatoes!
Protein: 92g Fat: 32g Carbs: Only from veggies
Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1# 93/7 Ground Beef (save the juice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle of garlic powder
Your Favorite Burger Toppings:
Bib lettuce or shredded romaine lettuce for the base
1 sweet white onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato sliced
Pickles
Cheese, pictured is shredded Kerrygold cheddar
Not pictured but great topping options:
Veggies: Fresh sliced onion, sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos… the more the merrier!
Fat Sources: Bacon, avocado, mayo, over easy egg
Instructions:
- Place the beef in a saute pan over medium heat. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until brown, stirring occasionally.
- While the beef is cooking, slice up your onion and place in an additional saute pan on medium heat. I drained some of the beef juice from the cooking beef as liquid for the onions, but you could also use a drizzle of olive oil. If you really want to save time and dishes, put the onions directly in with the ground beef!
- Slice your veggies and prepare additional toppings.
- Place lettuce in the bottom of the bowl to prepare for layering.
- Once the beef is cooked, measure out your required protein needs, plop on the lettuce, and load it up with delicious veggies!
