Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp onion powder optional
  • 8 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 8 cups spring mix
  • 8 ounces grape tomatoes halved (about a cup)
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese grated (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 2 ounces crisp bacon crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
  • 8 ounces dill pickle sliced or diced (about 2 pickles)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing

Instructions
 

  • I keep pre cooked bacon on hand, but if you don't have it, you will need to cook your bacon.
  • Form ground beef into four patties. Sprinkle each with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Brown in a skillet over medium high heat till well seared on the outside and cooked to your liking.
  • While patties are cooking, chop the lettuce, tomato, and pickles; set aside. Shred cheese and set aside.
  • Toss together the chopped romaine and spring mix and divide between four large plates. Top each salad with tomatoes, pickles, bacon, and cheese.
  • Chop the patties into bite sized pieces and place on top of the salads. Serve with dressing.

Notes

Different dressings will change the net carbs, especially if they have hidden sugars. I like using my homemade keto ranch dressing so I know it's low in carbs.
