  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 4 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Ketchup, mustard, or mayo to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 sliced avocado, 1/4 cup bacon bits, or sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Season ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape into 4 patties.
  2. Cook patties in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
  3. Prepare fresh veggies and toppings while patties cook.
  4. Place cooked patties in bowls and layer with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cheese, and desired condiments.
  5. Add optional toppings like avocado, bacon bits, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  6. Serve immediately while patties are warm.

Notes

  • Swap beef for turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or grilled onions for extra depth.
  • Try pepper jack or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • For a vegetarian option, use plant-based patties or black bean burgers.
  • Store cooked patties and fresh toppings separately for up to 3 days; reheat patties before assembling.
