In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pound of ground beef. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned.

Once the beef is browned, sprinkle in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

While the beef cooks, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.

Chop fresh lettuce, dice cherry tomatoes, and slice red onion for a vibrant presentation.

Assemble the bowls by layering cooked ground beef, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, zesty onions, and shredded cheese.

Drizzle the special sauce over the bowls and top with pickles.
