Burger Bowls

My kiddo loves a burger, and honestly they aren't my favourite, not the traditional kind anyway. I truly think it is a left over effect from first trimester struggles for me (if you know you know). This burger bowl is something that is a win in our family regardless of our varying love for a burger. For me it is a lot lighter on my stomach, but still packed with flavour and equally satisfying. Everyone is happy when it's burger bowl night, and honestly I find these bowls way easier to throw together than a hamburger. Plus they are easy to double up so that you can have leftovers for lunch or another night of the week when you are pressed for time.

1lb lean ground beef
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
