Ingredients
Burger Base
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Salad Dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons diced dill pickles
- ½ tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Salad
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, or grape tomatoes
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup pre-sliced dill pickle chips
- 1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar
- 3 cups cooked frozen french fries
Instructions
- Cook the frozen french fries according to the package instructions and set them aside. (This can be done while preparing the other components of the recipe.)
- In a 10 inch skillet over medium high heat, add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper and paprika and cook while stirring often until the ground beef is cooked through and no longer pink. This should take about 5 minutes. Drain any excess oil.
- Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, diced dill pickle, mustard, garlic and onion powder to a small bowl. Stir until completely combined and uniform in color.
- Add the lettuce to a large serving bowl. Arrange the tomatoes, red onion, pickle slices, cooked ground beef and cooked french fries around the edges of the lettuce.
- Drizzle the salad dressing over the entire salad. Serve immediately.
Notes
- 1000 island dressing can be substituted if you are pressed for time.
- Iceberg lettuce, spring baby greens mixture, baby spinach and even kale can be a good substitute for romaine lettuce.
- You can substitute pre-shredded cheese for freshly shredded cheese.
