Heat a large skillet over medium heat and saute the diced yellow onions until translucent. Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and stir to combine.
½ cup Yellow Onion, 1 lb Ground Beef, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Assemble your cheeseburger bowls. In each bowl, start with a base of lettuce. Then, add the cooked ground beef, followed by the tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cheese. Drizzle with the burger sauce and enjoy.
