- Trader Joe's Magnifisauce see more uses to this sauce here!
Instructions
- Brown meat: In a skillet, add ground beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. (I like using a potato masher during the last minute to get the meat broken up nice and fine.If you are using frozen burger patties, I like to air fry them or cook them in the oven. When they're done, chop them into bite-size pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt/pepper.
- Add spices: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt/pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and cook one minute more.
- Assemble: To a large serving bowl or individual bowls, add romaine, cheese, pickles, onions, cherry tomatoes, and avocado (if using). Top with the ground beef mixture and drizzle on lots of Magnifisauce. Toss and enjoy!
