Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until tender.

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper and brown for about 8 minutes.

While the beef is browning, wash and chop 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and shred 2 cups of lettuce. Slice up 1/2 cup of pickles.

In each serving bowl, start with a scoop of the cooked brown rice. Layer on the cooked ground beef, followed by the shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced pickles.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of ketchup and 1 tablespoon of mustard. Drizzle this sauce over the assembled Burger Bowls.

Serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
