Ingredients
- 1½ pounds 680 g 93% lean ground beef
- 8 ounces 225 g cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- ½ medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese about 3 ounces total
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard
- 4 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup chopped tomato
- ½ cup sliced dill pickles
- ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms and onion. Chop the tomato, shred the lettuce, and slice the pickles. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, and ketchup until smooth. Refrigerate the sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and their released moisture has evaporated.
- Add the onion and cook for another 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
- Add the ground beef to the same skillet. Break it into crumbles and cook for approximately 6–8 minutes, until browned and it reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.
- Return the mushrooms and onions to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until everything is combined.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Top each with one slice of Swiss cheese, cover briefly over low heat, and allow the cheese to melt.
- Divide the lettuce between four bowls. Add the warm beef mixture, tomato, and pickles. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and serve.
