Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Form the ground beef into patties (or crumble it).
  4. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your liking.
  5. While the burger is cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle relish, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Divide the shredded lettuce and spinach evenly among four bowls.
  7. Top each bowl with the cooked ground beef (either sliced or crumbled).
  8. Add your desired toppings to each bowl.
  9. Generously drizzle the secret sauce over each bowl.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Other topping ideas include bell peppers, mushrooms, or different types of cheese. For a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or more cayenne pepper. You can store leftover burger bowls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best to store the sauce separately to prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
