Ingredients
  

For the Bowls
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef or Turkey For that classic burger flavor.

  • 2 cups Chopped Vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini) For added nutrition and color.
  • 1 can Black Beans (rinsed and drained) Another protein source packed with fiber.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded) Because cheese makes everything better!

For the Dressing

Preparation
