- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with the onion powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brown the beef by breaking it up as it cooks until it is fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Special Sauce: While the beef is cooking, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle juice, dill relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Burger Bowls: Begin by placing chopped romaine lettuce at the bottom of each bowl. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced pickles, and thinly sliced red onions. Add the cooked ground beef on top, then drizzle generous amounts of the special sauce over everything.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal that's satisfying and wholesome.
