Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and prepare according to package directions. When the pasta is done, drain and set aside.
8 ounces protein pasta
While the pasta is cooking, add ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook while breaking up into smaller pieces. After 2-3 minutes, add onion powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue cooking another 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cook through. Remove from heat.
1 pound extra lean ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
While the pasta and beef are cooling slightly, finish chopping any vegetables and whisking together the ingredients for the burger sauce.
3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons pickle juice, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt and pepper to taste
To a large bowl, add the cooked and cooled pasta, ground beef, vegetables, shredded cheese, and the burger sauce. Toss to combine.
1 cup cheddar cheese, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 1/2 cup diced pickles
If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds (like a sesame seed bun!) prior to serving. Enjoy!
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
