Bacon Cheeseburger Bowl (keto diet)

Ingredients:

Refueling

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons no-sugar-added ketchup, such as Primal Kitchen
• 1 tsp horseradish from a jar
• 0.5 tsp coconut amino acids
• 1/4 tsp hot sauce
• 1/8 tsp paprika

Bowl

• 2 strips of raw bacon
• 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced ​​(about 150g)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 450 g of ground beef
• 1 core of chopped inner romaine lettuce leaves (about 4 cups)
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 1 small pickle, sliced ​​(about 1/2 cup)
• 30 g grated sharp cheddar (1/4 cup)

Preparation:

1. Refueling:
   
   In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, coconut aminos, hot sauce, and paprika.
2. Caramelized onions:
   
   Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the onion to the same skillet with the bacon fat, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, watching closely and stirring more frequently toward the end of cooking to prevent burning, 12–15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the onion to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
4. Cheeseburger Bowl:
   
   Add the ground beef to the same skillet with the remaining fat, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring and breaking up any clumps of ground beef, until cooked through and browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
5. Divide the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and pickles among 4 bowls. Drizzle each serving with 1–2 tablespoons of the secret dressing. Top with a quarter of the ground beef and caramelized onions. Crumble the bacon and divide among the plates. Sprinkle each serving with cheese and serve.
