Cook the rice by preparing the brown rice according to the package instructions. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, reduce to low heat, and cover for about 30 minutes, then fluff.

While the rice cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for about 8 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.

Chop your fresh toppings: dice cherry tomatoes, shred lettuce, and slice pickles. Arrange them for assembling the bowls.

Layer cooked brown rice in each bowl, top with browned ground beef, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and pickles. Finish with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

Mix ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. Drizzle over the assembled bowls to infuse flavors.

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Burger Bowls with forks, spoons, or hands!
