Making Burger Bowls is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop all vegetables and measure out ingredients beforehand to streamline the cooking process.
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef or turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Drain the Meat: Once cooked, drain excess fat if necessary, and set aside to keep warm.
4. Assemble the Base: In bowls, create a bed of lettuce or mixed greens to form the base.
5. Add the Meat: Spoon the cooked ground meat onto the bed of greens.
6. Top with Vegetables: Add cherry tomatoes, pickles, and red onion slices generously over the meat.
7. Sprinkle Cheese: Top the bowls with shredded cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm meat.
8. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, add diced avocado and bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.
9. Drizzle Sauces: Finish with ketchup and mustard drizzled over the top.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Burger Bowls while they’re still warm, garnished with additional toppings of your choice.

These steps guide you in creating a quick and satisfying meal that encapsulates the flavors of a classic burger in bowl form.
