Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80-85% lean)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup pickle slices
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or keto-friendly aioli
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- Optional: avocado slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
- Form four patties from the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook patties 3-4 minutes per side, topping with cheddar in the last minute to melt.
- Warm cauliflower rice in a separate pan or microwave until tender.
- Assemble each bowl: base of cauliflower rice, top with a patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, avocado if using, and a drizzle of aioli.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a crisper crust, press patties firmly and avoid moving them too often while cooking.
- Swap in ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Make ahead: cook patties and chill; reheat before serving for quicker weeknights.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
