02 - While the beef cooks, chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the dill pickles.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle relish, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
04 - Divide chopped lettuce among 4 bowls. Top with cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Drizzle each bowl generously with the special sauce. Serve immediately while the beef is still warm.
