Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Condiments

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard

Instructions

  1. Cook the Brown Rice: Prepare brown rice according to the package instructions, which typically takes about 30 minutes. This will form the base of your burger bowl.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper until it is browned thoroughly, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep it lean.
  3. Prepare Fresh Vegetables: While the beef is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and slice the pickles to have fresh toppings ready.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In individual serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice first, followed by the cooked ground beef, shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Make the Sauce: Mix ketchup and mustard together in a small bowl. Drizzle this sauce over your assembled burger bowl for the classic flavor combination.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your burger bowl immediately for the best texture and flavor, or serve directly from the bowl for a fun and easy meal presentation.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content for a healthier dish.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
  • If preferred, you can warm the assembled burger bowl slightly to melt the cheese.
  • Feel free to add other burger toppings like onions or avocado for extra flavor.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted to your taste preferences and dietary needs.
