Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Refrigerate while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the seasoned beef, cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease.
  4. Divide the shredded lettuce among serving bowls. Spoon cooked ground beef over the lettuce, allowing the heat to slightly wilt the greens.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, dill pickle chips, and optional chopped onions over the beef in each bowl. Customize with additional toppings as desired.
  6. Give the tangy sauce a final stir and drizzle generously over each bowl. Serve immediately.
