- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- kosher salt, pepper, burger seasoning blend (I used Blackstone Smashburger seasoning)
- Optional: splash of milk to thin the sauce if needed
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (or ground turkey)
- For the bowls: lettuce of choice, chopped pickles, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, diced onions

Put the cottage cheese, ketchup, pickle juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, pepper, and burger seasoning in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add a splash of milk or more pickle juice if sauce is too thick.

Preheat a large skillet or your Blackstone griddle to medium. Add the ground beef, kosher salt, pepper, and burger seasoning. Cook 7 to 10 minutes, mixing a few times. Taste for seasoning and add more burger seasoning if needed. Drain excess grease. Let the burger meat come to room temp.

To assemble the bowls start with lettuce in 4 bowls or meal prep containers. Add the burger meat and toppings of choice such as chopped pickles, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, and/ or diced onions. Drizzle the burger sauce over top right before serving.
