Burger Mixture
- 1 lb 93/7 ground beef
- 2 tbsp ketchup (1 fl oz)
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (0.5 fl oz)
- 1 tbsp house burger seasoning (recipe in notes)
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil (0.25 fl oz)
Salad Ingredients
- 8 cups green leaf lettuce, chopped (300 grams)
- 2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped (300 grams)
- 1 cup pickles, chopped (I like Bread & Butter) (170 grams)
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped (80 grams)
- 1/2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (56 grams)
- 1/2 cup low fat Thousand Island dressing (4 fl oz)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmery and hot, add ground beef and season with burger seasoning. Break ground beef apart with a wooden spatula as it cooks.
Once ground beef is almost completely cooked, drain excess fat from the skillet. Return to heat and add soy sauce and ketchup, mixing to coat the beef evenly. Continue cooking until beef is cooked through. Set aside.
Assemble salad to serve. If meal prepping in a mason jar, add salad dressing to the bottom of the jar first, then add: beef, onions, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, and lettuce.
House Burger Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tbsp Mexican oregano
- 1/2 tbsp ground mustard
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
