Ingredients:
For the Beef Patties:
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 beef-to-fat ratio is ideal)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1-2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil (for cooking)
For the Bowl:
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pickles, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
1/4 cup sliced avocado
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup (optional)

Instructions:
Prepare the Beef Patties:
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions

Form each portion into a loose ball. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
Place the beef balls in the skillet and use a spatula to smash them down into thin patties. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble the Bowls:
In each bowl, start with a base of shredded lettuce.
Top with cherry tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and avocado slices.
Add the cooked beef patties on top.

Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, and sugar-free ketchup if using. Adjust to taste.
Serve:
Drizzle the sauce over the bowls.
Optionally, you can garnish with additional herbs or a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Feel free to customize the bowl with your favorite keto-friendly toppings or adjust the quantities to fit your preferences. Enjoy your delicious Keto Smash Burger Bowls!
