Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 slices Bacon strips
• 6 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Grape tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.5 cup Pickles
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In another skillet or in the microwave, cook the bacon until crispy. Allow it to cool on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

While the meat cools, prepare the vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the grape tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the pickles.

Step 4

Shred the cheddar cheese if it is not pre-shredded.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and olive oil until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Step 6

Assemble the salad by dividing the lettuce evenly among four bowls or plates. Top each with an equal portion of ground beef, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared burger dressing over the salad before serving. Toss gently to combine, if desired, and enjoy!
