Instructions
-
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and onion powder. Stir until smooth. Adjust the pickle juice if you prefer a thinner consistency.
-
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the shredded lettuce evenly among four meal-prep containers.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Add the diced onions, cherry tomatoes, and pickles to each bowl. Top with the seasoned ground beef and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Finishing Touches: Drizzle the “Mac” sauce over the top of each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh chives for that authentic burger look.
-
Storage: These stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you prefer your beef warm, store the sauce on the side and heat the meat separately before assembling.
Nutrition Tip
If you want to add more volume without many calories, you can mix in some cauliflower rice with the lettuce base. It absorbs the sauce beautifully and adds an extra fiber boost.
