Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (I get my grass-fed beef here)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sliced dill pickles
- 1 tomato, cored and diced or 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion, sliced into rings
- 1 batch “Not So Secret” Burger sauce (get the recipe here)
Instructions
- Add the ground beef, garlic, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the meat and cook it until it is browned and cooked all the way through. Drain excess grease.
- Divide the romaine lettuce evenly among four bowls.
- Divide the remaining ingredients among all 4 bowls, arranging each one on top of the lettuce.
- Serve with burger sauce.
Notes
- Storage: This is best when eat ingredient is packed separately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: I like to reheat the ground beef in the microwave, or in a pan on the stovetop.
- Make it vegetarian: For a vegetarian version, you can use a meatless burger patty or meatless crumbles in place of the ground beef, and omit the bacon.
- Swap the protein: This is also delicious with ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground bison.

Such a good and filling salad! Last minute trying to decide what to do with a pound of ground beef….had everything but the bacon ☹️. Bacon would take it to the next level.

I have some facial paralysis which prevents me from being able to open my mouth wide enough to eat things like burgers and tacos so I'm always looking for deconstructed meals like this. This meal was so satisfying that I am making this regularly. It's easy to make and can be versatile by adding anything that you would normally eat on a burger.

The sauce makes it! I make burgers for the family almost bi-weekly now and I can now enjoy this salad and not look wistfully at my family’s buns 😂😂
Every recipe I’ve tried from this site has helped me maintain my keto lifestyle.

This was SO good! Even my husband who doesn't consider salad a meal said we need to add this to our dinner rotation. And that burger sauce is now my go to for fries, etc. Thank you!
