Ingredients
For The Salad:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 large yellow onion 2 small
- 6-8 cups romaine lettuce about 1.5 heads
- 3/4 cup dill pickles
- 1 cup cheddar cheese about 4oz
- 1 cup tomatoes optional
For The Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbs yellow mustard
- 1 tbs white vinegar
- 1-3 tsp sugar taste to your preference
Instructions
- Warm the oil in a large pan, then saute the beef until cooked through.
- While the beef is cooking, chop onion, tomatoes and pickles for the salad. For the pickles, separate about 2 tbs and cut them until they are almost minced for the sauce. Grate the cheese - it's better freshly grated than pre-shredded!
- Remove beef and add onions to the pan. Saute onion 5-10 minutes until slightly browned but not burnt.
- While the onions are sauteing, add all sauce ingredients plus 2 tbs minced pickles to a bowl and whisk until smooth (minus the pickles).
- Serve by layering the lettuce first, then topping with beef, onion, cheese, pickles and tomatoes. Drizzle sauce on top and optionally garnish lightly with sesame seeds.
