Enjoy a fresh low-carb burger bowl for lunch! It satiates your craving for fast food with keto-friendly and high-protein ingredients.
Paleo Burger Bowl
What is your favorite thing about burgers? For me, it is all about the toppings. I love the juicy tomatoes, crispy lettuce, tangy pickles, and the secret sauce to tie it all together.
A bunless burger is always a fantastic choice on the keto diet, but sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fry up the hamburger patties. These burger bowls are incredibly easy to throw together when you are too busy to mess with making pretty burgers. The best part is that it tastes just like a fast-food burger!
Low-Carb Burger Bowl
This recipe isn’t just Paleo-friendly and low in carbs, but it is Whole3o friendly too. That means it is a completely sugar-free recipe and made without any dairy.
If you choose to add cheese (which I love to do) then it won’t be Whole30 compliant. Otherwise, it’s totally healthy and packed with nutrition.
Keto Burger Sauce
My favorite part of this recipe is the burger sauce. It tastes just like the secret Big Mac sauce from McDonald’s. It’s sugar-free, dairy-free, and egg-free, so it’s perfect for anyone on a special diet.
To make it a little spicier, I added some red pepper flakes. Leave them out if you want it to be mild, or add more for even more heat.
Use this burger sauce as a dip for bacon-wrapped pickles, or bacon-wrapped shrimp. Or add it on top of keto steak fajita lettuce wraps. It’s a really versatile sauce that you can use over and over again.
Low-Carb Big Mac Salad
This is very close to a copycat Big Mac Salad. To get the most authentic experience, I suggest finely shredding your lettuce. Either use a food processor or just run your knife through the lettuce a bunch until you have thin slivers. In fact, I suggest chopping and slicing up all the ingredients into small pieces.
Remember to pay close attention to each ingredient you buy. Only use sugar-free bacon (so avoid maple-cured bacon) and don’t use bread and butter pickles or sweet pickles.
If you can, use fresh herbs. I used dried and the bowls turned out delicious, but fresh herbs will enhance the flavors even more.
Burger Salad Keto
Low-carb burger bowls are one of the best meal prep lunches you can make! I like to layer the salad ingredients in a mason jar with the wettest ingredients on the bottom (like the ground beef, pickles, and tomatoes) and the drier ones on the top (like the bacon, lettuce, and onions). This way all the ingredients will stay crispy and fresh for up to 5 days.
Store the sauce separately in another mason jar with a lid. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month. When you are ready to enjoy this as a quick lunch, just drizzle a little bit of the sauce on the salad and you are ready to eat! You don’t have even to reheat it unless you want to.
If you prefer to eat the burger mixture when it is hot, then store it in a separate container so that you can heat it up before adding it to your bowl.
