Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup sliced dill pickles
  • Hamburger bun croutons (recipe below)
  • Secret sauce dressing (recipe below)

Hamburger Bun Croutons

  • 2 hamburger buns cut into cubes
  • 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Secret Sauce Dressing

  • cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoon dill pickle juice

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook while breaking beef up with a spatula.
  • Continue cooking until the beef is cooked through with no remaining pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Divide lettuce evenly between 4 salad bowls. Top with ground beef and evenly divide tomatoes, sliced onion, avocado slices, cheese, and pickles to bowls. Top with croutons and drizzle as much dressing as you desire over the top.

Hamburger Bun Croutons

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together cubed hamburger buns, olive oil, and salt. Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, until nice and crispy.

Secret Sauce Dressing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and dill pickle juice until smooth.
