Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef (or alternative) and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Break apart as it cooks, ensuring even browning.
- While the protein is cooking, prepare your base in a separate pot. If you’re using quinoa or brown rice, follow package directions for cooking.

Assembly
- Start with a layer of quinoa or rice at the bottom of your bowl.
- Then, add the cooked protein, followed by your choice of veggies and toppings.
- Top your burger bowl off with your favorite condiments for that extra burst of flavor.

Notes
For added texture, include crispy bacon bits or toasted nuts. If you love heat, consider adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to four days.
