  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 150g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 15g (1 tbsp) yellow mustard
  • 15g (1 tbsp) ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Brown and Season: Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 8-10 minutes. Drain fat.
  2. Make Sauce: Whisk Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

Notes

For meal prep, store the sauce and cooked beef separately from the fresh vegetables to maintain crispness. Shred the cheddar cheese from a block for better melting.
