Bold, fresh, and full of flavor—this Zesty Burger Bowl is a low-carb, high-protein meal that hits all the right notes. It’s loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients like spring greens, sauerkraut, and fresh veggies, then topped with savory beef, crispy bacon, and my signature Green Peruvian Sauce for the perfect spicy-tangy finish. Great for lunch or dinner when you want something quick, satisfying, and blood sugar-friendly.

 

For this bowl, I always use Cleveland Kitchen’s Classic Sauerkraut—it’s raw, fermented, and packed with probiotics that support gut health. Unlike heat-treated or shelf-stable varieties, their kraut is alive with beneficial bacteria and made with clean, non-GMO ingredients. It adds the perfect tang and crunch to the bowl while helping support digestion and immune function. Plus, it’s refrigerated and unpasteurized, meaning you get all the health benefits of real fermentation.

 

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups spring mix

3 oz ground beef (I cooked up 1–2 pounds and use beef as needed)

1 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)

Sea salt, to taste

5–6 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small serrano pepper, thinly sliced (optional for spice)

2 slices cooked bacon, chopped

1/3 cup sauerkraut (raw and fermented, if possible)

2–3 tbsp Green Peruvian Sauce 

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt until browned and fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Prep the base: In a large bowl, layer the spring mix as your base.

  3. Add toppings: Arrange the cherry tomatoes, serrano peppers, sauerkraut, and chopped bacon over the greens.

  4. Top with beef: Add the seasoned beef on top of the salad.

  5. Finish with sauce: Drizzle generously with Green Peruvian Sauce.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra fiber, add 1/4 cup black beans or sliced avocado.

  • Swap serrano for jalapeño or skip if sensitive to spice.

  • Use nitrate-free bacon and grass-fed beef for a cleaner version.

  • Meal prep tip: Cook beef and bacon ahead to make assembly quick!
