Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

Instructions
Creating a Smash Burger Bowl is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
3. Form Patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
4. Smash the Patties: Place the balls in the hot skillet. Using a spatula, press down firmly to flatten each ball into a patty, about ½ inch thick.
5. Cook the Patties: Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, start with a base of chopped romaine lettuce. Layer with sliced cherry tomatoes, pickles, and red onion.
7. Add the Patties: Place one cooked patty on top of each assembled bowl.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot patties so it melts slightly.
9. Drizzle Sauce: Add a generous drizzle of burger sauce over the top.
10. Finish with Optional Toppings: If desired, add slices of avocado, jalapeños, or crispy bacon for extra flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious Smash Burger Bowl ready to enjoy!
