Ingredients

2 lb 93% lean ground beef
3 romaine hearts, chopped
½ cup shredded cheddar
½ cup dill pickle chips, chopped
¼ onion, finely diced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1½ tsp sesame seeds
⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt

From your pantry: 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tsp white vinegar, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, pepper.

Instructions

Whisk the yogurt, mayo, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, paprika and 2 tbsp chopped pickles for the special sauce. Chill while you cook.
Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until crisp in spots, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with the garlic powder, onion powder, ¾ tsp salt and pepper.
Toss the romaine with the tomatoes, onion and remaining pickles.
Top with the warm beef and cheddar, drizzle with special sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tip: A splash of pickle juice in the sauce makes it taste even more like the real thing.
