Main ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice Prepare according to package instructions.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles Choose crunchy pickles for best texture.

  • 1/4 cup ketchup Adjust amount based on personal preference.
  • 2 tbsp mustard Can substitute with other sauces if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare brown rice according to package instructions (approximately 30 minutes).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook lean ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper until browned (about 8 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  3. While the beef is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and slice the pickles.
Assembly
  1. Assemble your bowl by layering cooked brown rice, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cheese.
  2. Mix ketchup and mustard in a small bowl; drizzle over assembled ingredients.
  3. Serve immediately or enjoy straight from the bowl.

Notes

Taste as you go! Adjust the ketchup-to-mustard ratio as desired. For extra melted cheese, pop the assembled bowl under a broiler for about 30 seconds.
