Ingredients:
For the salad:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup diced pickles
– 1/4 cup diced red onion

– 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
– 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
– 1 tablespoon white vinegar
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:
1. Olive oil should be heated in a sizable skillet over medium heat. Add the salt, black pepper, and ground meat. Cook the meat until it is well-browned and done. Using a spatula, crush it into crumbles. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Set the cooked beef aside to cool slightly.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, dill pickle relish, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be the dressing for the salad. Set it aside.
3. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, and diced red onion.
4. Add the cooled ground beef to the salad bowl. Sprinkle the salad components with the dressing.
5. Using tongs or salad servers, toss all the ingredients together until everything is well coated with the dressing.
6. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad for added crunch and visual appeal, if desired.
