For the Bowls:
  • 1 pound ground beef*
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ cup Dill pickle chips or chopped dill pickle spears
  • ⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional
  • 2 cups frozen sweet potato fries optional—I used Alexia foods
For the Sauce:
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons ketchup or French dressing or Sriracha
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon milk plus more to thin as needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If cooking sweet potato fries, prepare them in the oven or the air fryer according to package directions.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium high. Add the beef and saute, breaking apart the meat (if using 80% or 85%, you won't need to add any oil). Season with theh salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Continue cooking, breaking apart the meat, until it is browned and completed cooked through.
  3. Stir together the sauce ingredients: yogurt, pickle juice, mustard, ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you have a thick but drizzle-able consistency.
  4. Divide the fries, lettuce, tomato, pickles cheese, onions, and beef between 2 bowls. Drizzle over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and DEVOUR!

Notes

  • *If using 90% or leaner beef, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet with it to prevent sticking.
