Making Burger Bowls is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to create your delicious meal:

1. Cook the Protein: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef (or alternative) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
2. Season the Meat: Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the meat. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
3. Prepare the Base: While the meat cooks, prepare your bowls by adding a generous handful of mixed salad greens to each bowl.
4. Add Fresh Veggies: Top the greens with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, shredded cheese, pickles, and red onion.
5. Assemble the Bowl: Once the meat is cooked, evenly distribute it on top of the salad and vegetable mixture in each bowl.
6. Drizzle Sauce: Finish by drizzling your favorite burger sauce over the top. Feel free to add more seasoning or fresh herbs if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Serve the Burger Bowls immediately while the protein is warm.

These easy steps result in a delicious meal that can be enjoyed any night of the week!
