Notes

  • For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with quinoa or cauliflower rice for different textures or dietary preferences.
  • Add avocado slices or a fried egg on top for extra richness and protein.
  • Adjust ketchup and mustard amounts to taste or try a spicy mustard for extra kick.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by omitting cheese or using a dairy-free alternative.
