Ingredients
For the Burger:
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Romaine lettuce (enough for 4 servings)
- Tomatoes (sliced, as desired)
- Pickles (sliced, as desired)
- Red onion (thinly sliced, as desired)
For the Special Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon dill relish
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with the onion powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it browns, until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Special Sauce: While the beef cooks, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle juice, dill relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and the sauce is smooth.
- Assemble the Burger Bowls: Begin with a bed of chopped romaine lettuce in each bowl. Layer with sliced tomatoes, pickles, and red onion according to your preference. Add a generous portion of the cooked seasoned ground beef on top. Drizzle the prepared special sauce over everything and serve immediately.
