These Burger Bowls are SO simple, but SO good! With so many people eating gluten free or low carb, a burger with no bun is a pretty standard order. This recipe elevates a bun-less burger to a full meal and still keeps things simple. You could also add diced onion or any other of your favorite burger toppings!
We love this ratio of mayonnaise and dijon mustard in the sauce, and we use it in several different recipes (usually tuna salad or turkey sandwiches).
Ingredients
- 4 cooked burger patties
- 1 head of green leaf lettuce
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 dill pickles, sliced
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1-2 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Split the green leaf lettuce evenly into 4 large bowls.
- Add a cooked burger patty, 1/4 cup of cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced pickles to each bowl.
- Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard, and add the water until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the top of the bowl, and enjoy!
Burger Bowls recipe details
This recipe calls for cooked burger patties. Please, please, please make sure your burgers are well seasoned and tasty! Your burger bowl is only as good as your burger patty. We absolutely LOVE the perfect burger recipe in the Whole 30 book (page 153). They are absolutely the best burgers we’ve ever made. I usually add a tiny bit more garlic powder than it calls for in their recipe. 
Another tip from the Whole 30 book is to freeze your burger patties for 15 minutes before you cook them. This definitely helps keep the burger from falling apart, especially if you cook them on a grill. I usually put the burger patties on a plate or in a large bowl to freeze.
To make the burger bowls, start with a base of green leaf lettuce. Add a cooked burger patty, 1/4 cup of cheese (or a little more if you are feeling dangerous), diced tomatoes, and sliced pickles.
Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard, and add the water until you reach your desired consistency. The tiny bit of added water makes it possible to drizzle the sauce over the top of the bowl (otherwise it just globs). Grab a fork and knife and enjoy!
