If you’re craving the delicious flavors of a classic burger but want a healthier, low-carb alternative, a burger bowl recipe is the perfect solution. This dish includes all the best burger toppings—juicy ground beef, crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and a creamy special sauce—but without the bun.

Not only are burger bowls packed with flavor and nutrients, but they are also incredibly customizable. Whether you’re following a keto, Whole30, paleo, or gluten-free diet, you can tweak the ingredients to suit your lifestyle.

1. Protein Choices

  • Classic: 80/20 ground beef (juicier and more flavorful!)

2. Base & Greens

  • Romaine lettuce (crunchy and fresh)
  • Iceberg lettuce (a classic burger pairing)
