Cheeseburger salad
Indulge in the savory goodness of a Cheeseburger Salad. Tantalize your taste buds with juicy beef, cheddar cheese, crunchy lettuce, and tangy dressing. A flavorful twist on a classic favorite.
Ingredients:
- 910g ground beef
- 1/3 cup ketchup, plus more if needed
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon or spicy mustard, plus more if needed
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, plus more if needed
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
- 4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 heads romaine or green-leaf lettuce, torn
- 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 8 dill pickle spears, cubed
- 1 red onion, sliced
Instructions:
- Cook the meat in a large pan over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until it browns. Take it off the heat and remove any excess fat. Mix in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, and mustards. Taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Keep the mixture warm.
- In another pan, melt 1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) of butter over low heat. Add the bread cubes and stir to coat them with butter. Toast the bread in the pan for 10 to 12 minutes, adding 1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) of butter every few minutes until you've used it all. This will help the bread absorb the butter and toast evenly.
- To serve: Place torn lettuce on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of the meat mixture on top, followed by a generous amount of grated Cheddar cheese. Arrange diced tomatoes, pickle chunks, and sliced red onions over the cheese. Finally, scatter the warm croutons around the plate. Serve immediately.
