½ cup pickles

½ cup shredded cheese

Special Sauce

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup mayonnaise

Cook the ground beef until browned, drain if necessary. Put the skillet with the beef back on the stove and add the seasoning.

To a small bowl, add the ketchup, mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Mix well.

Drizzle some of the dressing around the inside of the salad bowl. This will help coat the salad with the sauce.

Add the lettuce, pickles, onions, grape tomatoes, bacon, and ground beef to the bowl and give it a good toss. Drizzle more dressing on top of the salad and serve immediately.
