Burger Bowl Recipe + Special Sauce

Make Special Sauce: Combine ingredients in a small bowl; Stir to combine. Set aside until the remaining ingredients are ready.
Caramelized Onions: Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and move it around so that the entire pan is coated. Add onions and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Move onions around the pan and bring heat down to medium heat once onions start to cook down. Continue cooking onions for 15-30 minutes, turning heat down as necessary, until they start to turn golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside until the rest of the meal is ready.
Cook Beef: Bring the large cast iron skillet back to a medium high heat. Add 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Break apart and move around the pan to full brown the ground beef. Pour off any excess grease. Taste and adjust any seasonings, as desired.
Build Bowls: Divide the lettuce, tomatoes, purple onion, bacon, pickles, and avocado (if using) between bowls. Then divide the cooked hamburger and caramelized onions between the bowls.
Serve: Top with as much Special Sauce as you want and enjoy!
