Prep ingredients: Start by chopping the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and dicing the tomatoes. Keep everything ready to build your delicious burger bowls.

Cook beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Season beef: Sprinkle in the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the beef is evenly coated with the flavorful seasonings, about 2 minutes.

Assemble bowls: Take a generous handful of romaine lettuce as your base in each bowl. Top it off with the seasoned ground beef, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Make special sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Stir until well mixed. Drizzle this delightful sauce over each assembled bowl.

Add toppings: Finally, finish your burger bowls with your choice of toppings, such as pickles or onions. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors!
