Description
A delicious ground beef salad topped with fresh ingredients and a special dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- to taste worcestershire sauce
- to taste homemade seasoned salt and pepper
- 3 heads romaine lettuce (chopped then washed)
- 1 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 Roma tomatoes (chopped, could use cherry, grape, or vine-ripened tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- to taste sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup French dressing (could use ketchup)
- 2 tablespoons minced pickles
- 2 tablespoons minced white onion (could use red)
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, French dressing, minced pickles, minced onion, and distilled vinegar to a small mixing bowl, then whisk to combine and set aside. Can be made several days ahead of time — the dressing just gets better as it sits.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef. Let the beef sear undisturbed until the bottom has browned, then add a few shakes of worcestershire sauce and season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper. Sauté until the beef is cooked through, then scoop onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
- Once slightly cooled, divide the chopped lettuce between plates or bowls, then top with the cooked ground beef, sliced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, and dill pickles. Drizzle with Special Sauce Salad Dressing and sesame seeds if using, then serve.
Notes
- This salad can be made ahead of time by preparing the dressing and storing it separately.
- You can customize the toppings based on your preference.
