Ingredients
Onions
- 1 tbsp. Salted Butter
- 2 medium Yellow Onions finely diced
Cheeseburger Crumble
- 1 ½ lbs Lean Ground Beef
- ½ cup Water
- 2 tsp. Paprika
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp. Garlic Powder
- ¼ tsp. Onion Powder
- 4 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbsp. Salted Butter
Salad and Toppings:
- 2 heads Romaine Lettuce washed and chopped
- 2 Roma Tomatoes stemmed and chopped
- 2 Dill Pickles chopped
- 6 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
- Thousand Island or Ranch Dressing for serving
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Onions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp. of butter. Once it has melted, add the finely diced onion and stir to coat. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the onion is soft. Ensure that you stir often to prevent scorching.
Cheeseburger Crumble
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as you go.
- Once the ground beef is no longer pink, drain the meat of any excess fat.
- Add the water to the beef and stir well.
- Add the paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add 1 tbsp. of butter and stir until melted.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir the cooked onions into the ground beef mixture.
Assembling the Salad
- Once all of your vegetables are chopped as directed in the ingredients list, you can assemble your salad. You can assemble it as one large family style salad in a serving bowl, or you can assemble individual salads for each family member.
- If you would like to assemble individual salads, add each topping to a small serving bowl and the lettuce in a large serving bowl. Have your family assemble their salads using these bowls of prepared toppings. Serve with a variety of dressing options.
- For a larger family style salad, add the lettuce to a large serving bowl. Top with the ground beef and onions, then shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped pickles, then sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve salad dressing on the side. I recommend Thousand Island, but my husband’s preference is Ranch!
