Ingredients

For the Burger Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise light or regular
¼ cup bbq sauce
1½ tablespoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
2 to 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

For the Ground Beef

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef lean
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

For the Bowls

1 head romaine lettuce (or more), chopped and washed
1 pint grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes), halved
½ cup diced red onions
2 avocados
french fries optional
shredded cheese optional

Instructions

Add the mayonnaise, bbq sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce to a jar. Mix to combine and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 3 minutes, making sure to break up the pieces, and add the seasoning. Continue to cook until the beef is fully browned. Drain any grease if there is any in the skillet.
Assemble your bowls by starting with a lettuce base, then add your ground beef and toppings of your choice.

Notes

The toppings are what I personally love, but feel free to use what you have on hand or what you prefer.
