My Loose Meat Cheeseburger Salads❤️
This is one of my top favorite salads!
Definitely a comfort food

Anything normally added to a hamburger can be included.

A happy discovery when I didn’t have bread and needed to use up some 3% fat ground beef.

And similar recipes in my CMT library:
Cheeseburger Salad, Pioneer Woman - with 2 mustards - untried
Naked Burger Keto Big Mac Salad, Pitre - with mustard - untried
There are MANY recipes for cheeseburger salads on the CMT Community pages.
