Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickles (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet yellow onion (sliced)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2-4 cups butter lettuce (chopped)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 2-4 slices purple onion
  • 4 slices bacon (cooked and roughly chopped)
  • 8 burger pickles
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Make Special Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickles, garlic powder, pickle juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  2. Caramelize Onions: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and coat the pan. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle them with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir occasionally, reducing the heat to medium once they begin to soften. Continue to cook for 15-30 minutes, stirring as needed, until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Cook Beef: In the same skillet, return to medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Break the meat apart and cook until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and season to taste.
  4. Build Bowls: Divide the chopped butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, purple onion, bacon, pickles, and optional avocado among bowls. Then scoop the cooked ground beef and top with the caramelized onions.
  5. Serve: Drizzle as much special sauce on top as desired and enjoy your vibrant burger bowl!
