Creating your Savory Smash Burger Bowl is a breeze with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the Beef: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Form each portion into a ball and place them in the hot skillet.
4. Smash the Patties: Using a spatula or burger press, smash each ball down to form a patty. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
5. Assemble the Base: While the patties are cooking, place a generous handful of mixed greens at the bottom of each bowl.
6. Add the Patties: Once cooked, place one smashed burger patty on top of the greens in each bowl.
7. Layer the Toppings: Add halved cherry tomatoes, pickles, shredded cheese, and red onion on top of the patty.
8. Drizzle with Sauce: Add your choice of burger sauce over the toppings for extra flavor.
9. Optional Toppings: If desired, add slices of avocado, crispy bacon, or jalapeños for an extra kick.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Savory Smash Burger Bowl while everything is warm and delicious!
