# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Allow it to brown undisturbed for 3–4 minutes before stirring to develop crisp edges. Add Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Cook until no longer pink, then drain excess fat. Set aside to cool slightly.
02 -
In a large salad bowl, combine shredded romaine lettuce, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced dill pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese. Toss to distribute evenly.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, French dressing, and distilled white vinegar until smooth and well combined.
04 -
Add the warm ground beef over the mixed greens. Drizzle with prepared dressing. Toss gently to combine all components.
05 -
Portion into serving bowls and enjoy immediately. Optional: Garnish with additional pickles or cheese, if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For best texture, let the beef cool for several minutes before adding to the greens to help prevent wilting.
02 -
Customize with toppings such as crispy bacon, jalapeños, or hard boiled eggs to suit individual preferences.
03 -
Store salad ingredients, cooked beef, and dressing separately if preparing ahead; combine just before serving for optimal freshness.
