Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles

Condiments & Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Toppings

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sesame seeds
  • Extra pickles

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef and cook onions: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook until they become softened and translucent.
  2. Add pickles and seasonings: Stir in the chopped dill pickles, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
  3. Mix in cheeses and yogurt: Lower the heat to medium-low. Add shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and plain Greek yogurt to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes creamy and well incorporated.
  4. Add toppings: Remove from heat and top the skillet with shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds to mimic the fresh elements of a burger bowl.
  5. Serve: Serve the dish warm, enjoying it with a fork or wrapped in a low-carb tortilla or lettuce wrap for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use plain Greek yogurt or sour cream depending on your preference; both add creaminess and tang.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste as the cheeses and Worcestershire sauce add saltiness.
  • For extra crunch and visual appeal, add additional fresh pickles or diced onions as garnish.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep — just reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
