# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the pan and remove from heat.

03 -
Divide the chopped romaine lettuce among four bowls, creating a base layer. Top each with an equal portion of the seasoned ground beef.

Arrange sliced avocado, red onion, pickles, and halved cherry tomatoes over the beef in each bowl.

Drizzle each bowl with the prepared burger sauce. Add a final sprinkle of salt and black pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce to the burger sauce or include some diced jalapeños in your toppings.
02 -
This meal is naturally gluten-free, but double-check your soy sauce to ensure it's gluten-free if needed.
03 -
For meal prep, store the sauce separately and add just before eating to keep the vegetables crisp.
