Instructions
Place a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top.
Once hot, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up with a spatula as it cooks.
Drain any excess liquid from the pan, return to the stove, add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Set aside.
Make the burger sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small bowl and stirring together until well combined.
Assemble the bowls: start with a base of lettuce, add the ground beef, bacon crumbles, avocado slices, red onion and tomatoes.
Drizzle with the prepared burger sauce and season to taste with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Notes
*I like to use 80/20 ground beef to mimic the flavor and fat content of a burger at a restaurant or fast food. Use any percentage combination you like or have though. These burger bowls could also be made with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
