Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook for 15-18 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Let it cool slightly and crumble it into bite-sized pieces.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 diced yellow onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until meat is browned and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.

While warm, season the beef mixture generously with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the creamy burger sauce.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder until smooth.

In meal prep containers, start with a layer of shredded lettuce as the base. Add the beef and onion mixture, then layer with diced tomatoes, diced red onion, pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon.

Store the creamy burger sauce in a separate container to keep the bowls fresh and avoid sogginess.
