"Ever loved your cheeseburger so much that you wished it was served in a huge bowl? Wish granted with this burger bowl recipe for sure! You can have your burger in a slightly bigger portion, and it’s even healthier. You’ll simply be deconstructing a burger by taking out the bread, and having the ingredients gathered in a burger bowl. The crunchy iceberg lettuce, onions, pickles; accompanied by the juicy tomatoes and the warm embrace of the ground beef covered in cheese; topped with everyone’s favorite burger condiment, the Big Mac sauce! In the unlikely event that you are not sold on this bowl, change the ingredients around to your liking any time. You can serve with some potato wedges (or fries), add toppings like avocados, beets, try different sauces, swap the beef with vegan options, or ground tofu – as long as you cover it with some good cheese (vegan or not) and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, this is your burger bowl!"
