🛒 Ingredients — 1 Serving

For the Burger Bowl

• 5 oz (140 g) lean ground beef
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• ¼ small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 slice Swiss cheese
• 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens

Creamy Burger Sauce

• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 tsp sugar-free ketchup
• ½ tsp mustard
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• Pinch of salt and pepper

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Make the sauce:
   Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate while preparing the bowl.
2. Season the beef:
   Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the ground beef. Mix gently.
3. Cook the beef:
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for about 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks, until fully browned and cooked through. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.
4. Cook the mushrooms and onion:
   Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add oil, mushrooms, and onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
5. Add the cheese:
   Mix the beef and mushrooms together. Place the Swiss cheese on top and cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts.
6. Build the bowl:
   Add shredded lettuce or greens to a bowl. Spoon the hot mushroom-Swiss beef mixture over the top.
7. Finish:
   Drizzle with the creamy burger sauce and serve immediately.
