The Golden Arches Keto Burger Bowl

Ingredients

• •1 lb 80/20 Ground Beef
• •4 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• •4 cups Iceberg Lettuce, finely shredded
• •1/4 cup White Onion, finely minced
• •1/2 cup Dill Pickle chips
• •1/2 cup Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
• •1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
• •1 tsp Sugar-free Ketchup
• •1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• •1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• •1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• •1 tbsp Dill Pickle Brine
• •Sea Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sugar-free ketchup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pickle brine. Whisk until perfectly smooth and set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. 2Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Shape into thin, uniform patties approximately 4 inches in diameter. Season both sides aggressively with sea salt and black pepper.
3. 3Preheat a heavy-bottomed cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Do not add extra oil, as the beef fat will render.
4. 4Place the patties in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them to develop a deep, caramelized crust. Flip the patties and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
5. 5Immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Pour a teaspoon of water into the side of the pan and cover with a lid for 30 seconds to create steam, ensuring the cheese is perfectly melted.
6. 6Prepare the bowls by distributing the shredded iceberg lettuce evenly. Scatter the minced white onions and dill pickle chips over the greens.
7. 7Place two cheesy patties into each bowl. Drizzle the homemade mustard-mayo dressing generously over the top and serve while the beef is hot and the lettuce is crisp.
