Creating the Smash Burger Bowl is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Your Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season the Beef: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently.
3. Cook the Beef: Form the seasoned beef into patties, about 4 ounces each. Place them in the hot skillet without overcrowding. Smash each patty down with a spatula for even cooking.
4. Sear the Patties: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium doneness.
5. Add Cheese: In the last minute of cooking, add shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
6. Prepare the Bowl: While the beef is cooking, divide mixed greens into four bowls.
7. Add Toppings: Top the greens with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced pickles, diced red onion, and the cheeseburger patties.
8. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Drizzle over the top of each bowl.
9. Serve Hot: Add any optional hot sauce if desired for an extra kick.
