Ingredients

Burger Bowl

1 lb ground beef 85/15
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 cups romaine or iceberg lettuce chopped
6-8 Compari tomatoes sliced
1 small red onion sliced
1 cup dill pickles sliced
2 ripe avocado sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices applewood bacon cooked and roughly chopped
white sesame seeds for garnish

Special Burger Sauce

1/2 cup mayo
1 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp sweet relish
2 tbsp dill relish
1 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp white granulated sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt to taste

Instructions

First, in a small bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, dill pickle relish, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Begin chopping the lettuce, and slicing the tomatoes, onions, and pickles. Then, roughly chop the cooked bacon and shred the cheese by hand or cut into small pieces.
Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet, along with the spices. As it cooks, break it apart with a spatula. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Start by placing a generous handful of chopped lettuce at the bottom of a large bowl. Spoon the ground beef on top, followed by the prepared toppings. Drizzle with burger sauce over the assembled ingredients and sprinkle with white sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
