Ingredients

To make the Ground Beef:

  • 1 lb. 93/7 ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp steak seasoning

To assemble the Bowl:

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce (170g)
  • 1/3 cup cooked ground beef (75g)
  • 2 Tbsp reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (14g)
  • 1/2 cup medley tomatoes (90g) halved - or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red onions (30g) thinly sliced
  • 1 oz. No-Sugar-Added Bread and Butter pickles (28g)
  • 2 Tbsp Skinny Special Sauce (30g) linked below

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, add beef and steak seasoning. Cook on medium heat until browned, breaking into pieces as you go. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add shredded lettuce, cheese, red onions, tomatoes, and pickles to a to-go storage container.
  • Add beef to the other side of the container or into another small container (you can also add beef to the bottom of the container and lettuce on top). Ground beef makes 4 servings total so you can assemble 4 bowls (with a little extra, that I just give to my dogs or use for another recipe).
  • Store in the fridge until ready to eat, then toss with Skinny Special Sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Skinny Special Sauce recipe can be found here
Storage Notes: I used Two Compartment Glass Meal Prep containers so I could keep the ground beef and lettuce separate. I also love the quality of these meal prep containers and the fact that they are glass, microwave, freezer, dishwasher-safe, and BPA free.
But if you don't have a two compartment container, you can either add your beef on the bottom (and your lettuce on the top) - or you can just store your beef in another container entirely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat. If stored well, Cheeseburger Bowls will stay fresh in fridge for 5-6 days.
