High-Protein Cheeseburger Bowls

Delicious and customizable High-Protein Cheeseburger Bowls packed with fresh veggies and a creamy sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce, OR 2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup sliced dill pickles
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 strips cooked bacon
  • Jalapeño slices
  • 4 fried eggs
  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir occasionally until the meat is cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Prepare the base: While the meat cooks, chop the lettuce or cook your chosen grains or cauliflower rice.
  3. Prep toppings: Slice the cherry tomatoes, pickles, onion, and any other optional toppings you desire.
  4. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Assemble bowls: In serving bowls, layer the base (lettuce or grains), followed by the cooked meat, toppings, and a sprinkle of cheese. Drizzle with the prepared sauce.
  6. Optional finish: If you want to boost protein and flavor, top each bowl with a fried egg, some bacon, or sliced avocado.

Notes

Serve warm with extra sauce on the side. Great for meal prep; store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
