Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper, then cook while breaking the meat apart until browned and fully cooked, about 7 to 10 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, dried onion, vinegar, sugar, and salt until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

3. Divide romaine lettuce into serving bowls. Top with cooked beef, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, and pickle slices. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender.

Leaner beef helps prevent the salad from becoming greasy.

Ground turkey, chicken, pork, bison, or plant based beef can be substituted.

For keto, use sugar free ketchup and a keto sweetener instead of sugar.

For dairy free, use dairy free cheese or omit cheese entirely.

For paleo, use maple syrup and paleo approved condiments.

For Whole30, omit cheese and sweetener and use compliant mayo and ketchup.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping beef separate for reheating.

The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Best served fresh for the best texture.

For meal prep, store ingredients separately and assemble before eating.
