Method
 

  1. Turn a burner on medium heat and add your Oil into a stovetop pan over it.
  2. Once it heats up, add and break up your Ground Meat.
  3. Put in the rest of your Meat Mix ingredients.
  4. Keep everything moving and breaking it up for around 5-8 minutes, or until your Ground Meat has browned. Remove it from the heat.
  5. Mix all of your ingredients together for your Greek Yogurt Sauce until smooth.
  6. In a bowl, add your choice "bowl" ingredients. My preference is lettuce (leafy greens), onion slices, a few small tomatoes, pickle slices, and bacon bits.
  7. If you want a carb source, you can add in cooked potatoes, homemade fries, rice, quinoa, or croutons.
  8. Pour in half of your Meat Mix and top it with half of your Greek Yogurt Sauce.
