Burger in A Bowl Toppings

I chose to keep it simple with traditional burger toppings along with a couple fun additions!

• Ground beef: I prefer seasoned ground beef, but feel free to use ground turkey, or even a burger patty.
• Shredded lettuce: I absolutely love finely chopped romaine lettuce in these burger bowls!
• Chopped vegetables galore: Tomatoes, peppers, red onion, pickles

What else can I put on my burger bowl? Try these extra add-ons:

• Avocado or guacamole
• Dairy-free cheese
• Sliced mushroom
• Shredded carrots
• Sliced green onions
• My 3-ingredient dairy-free and egg-free special sauce

Weight Watchers Burger Bowl

Sooo I have some news… I started Weight Watchers!

As I’m writing this, I’m still in week 1 but I couldn’t wait to share this quick, easy, and filling burger bowl.

It made for a perfect weeknight meal and possibly even better leftover lunch! This “big mac salad” truly has all the best flavors from a classic hamburger.

Let’s chat about my EPIC burger sauce!

Since going dairy-free about 10 years ago, I’ve always substituted non-dairy yogurt in place of sour cream and other creamy condiments. To keep this bowl on track and low in points, I whisked together a super simple dressing.

It’s just equal parts soy-based yogurt and ketchup, with a couple dashes of worcestershire sauce!

In addition to being a great beginner weight watchers recipe, it’s also:

• Dairy-free
• Egg-free
• Gluten-free
• Low carb
• Paleo friendly
• Can be made Whole-30 compliant
• Also can be made vegan by using plant-based crumbles or other meat alternative
