Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb. 93/7 ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp steak seasoning

Bowl Assembly

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce (170g)
  • 1/3 cup cooked ground beef (75g)
  • 2 Tbsp reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (14g)
  • 1/2 cup medley tomatoes, halved (90g) or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red onions, thinly sliced (30g)
  • 1 oz. No-Sugar-Added Bread and Butter pickles (28g)
  • 2 Tbsp Skinny Special Sauce (30g) (recipe linked below)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef along with the steak seasoning. Cook, breaking the meat into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Bowl: In a meal prep container or bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced red onions, halved tomatoes, and bread and butter pickles.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Add about 1/3 cup of the cooked ground beef to each bowl or separate compartment of your container. You may place the beef on one side or the bottom with the vegetables layered on top, depending on your container and preference.
  4. Store and Serve: Cover and refrigerate the assembled bowls. When ready to eat, toss with 2 tablespoons of Skinny Special Sauce per bowl and enjoy this flavorful, protein-packed meal prep option.

Notes

  • The Skinny Special Sauce recipe is available via the linked source for an extra flavor boost.
  • Use two-compartment glass meal prep containers to keep the ground beef and veggies separate until ready to eat.
  • If you don’t have divided containers, store the beef on the bottom and lettuce on top or in a separate container to maintain texture.
  • Store the bowls in an airtight container in the fridge; they stay fresh for 5-6 days.
  • This recipe makes 4 servings total.
