Cheeseburger Bowls (ready in 20 minutes!)

The perfect summer evening includes these Cheeseburger Bowls and then a bowl of freshly sliced watermelon as dessert. You really can’t get better than that! These bowls are nourishing, delicious, and incredibly easy to make. They come together in about 20 minutes, making it the perfect meal for busy nights!

Nutritional benefits of this recipe:

• Grass-fed ground beef is rich in protein, healthy fats, and iron.
• The fresh veggies are rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
• For the sauce: I opt for healthy mayonnaise and healthy ketchup. The mayonnaise is made using avocado oil instead of seed oils and the ketchup uses only real ingredients. I use the brand Primal Kitchen. I also love Chosen Foods as well.

Shredded cheese – Omit if dairy-free.

Make the Cheeseburger Bowls your own

• Add diced jalapeno for extra flavor and a spicy kick.
• Make it dairy-free simply by omitting the cheese.
• Use yellow mustard or stone ground mustard in place of the Dijon for a sweeter flavor. I personally love the complex flavor that Dijon mustard adds.
• Add crumbled bacon to the bowls for an extra savory and fun flavor.
