Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 325

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 for juicier, or 96/4 for leaner
  • 12 oz radishes quartered or cut into eighths
  • 4 oz shredded cheese cheddar, American, or a three-cheese blend
  • bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled; reserve the rendered fat
  • mayonnaise for the burger sauce
  • ketchup for the burger sauce
  • yellow mustard for the burger sauce
  • pickle juice for the burger sauce
  • Worcestershire sauce for the burger sauce
  • dill pickles diced, for topping
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • grated Parmesan cheese optional, for topping
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy; remove and crumble, reserving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Add the radishes to the bacon fat in the same skillet and cook until tender and lightly browned; remove from the pan. (If skipping bacon, use 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt instead.)
  3. In the same skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, letting it sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes before breaking it up. Continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. While the meat cooks, mix the burger sauce: combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowls: start with the cooked ground beef as the base, add the cooked radishes, then top with shredded cheese and diced dill pickles.
  6. Top with the burger sauce, then finish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan if desired. Optionally, place the bowls in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes to melt the cheese before serving.

Notes

No single total prep/cook time was stated in the source article; timing is given per component instead: bacon cooked until crispy (no exact time), radishes cooked until tender, ground beef seared 4-5 minutes then cooked further to an internal temperature of 160°F, with an optional oven finish at 400°F for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. The recipe makes 3-4 servings in the source; the minimum (3) was used here. Bacon fat is used to cook the radishes; if skipping bacon, substitute 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
