High-Protein Burger Bake

Simple & Perfect for Meal Prep

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love simple, high-protein meals that actually taste good and keep you full.

This Burger Bake has become one of my weekly staples. It’s packed with lean protein, loaded with veggies, and made creamy using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream — so you get flavor without feeling heavy.

It’s perfect for:

• Meal prep

• Busy weeks

• Tightening up your nutrition

• Supporting muscle while keeping your waistline in check

Let’s get into it.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey/chicken)

• 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 2–3 handfuls fresh spinach, chopped

• ¾–1 cup plain Greek yogurt

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (a little goes a long way!)

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Italian seasoning (optional but great)

Instructions

1️⃣ Start Two Pans

Pan #1 – Protein

Cook ground meat over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Pan #2 – Veggies

In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and cook until soft and lightly caramelized.

Add chopped red bell pepper and cook until tender.

Add spinach last and cook just until wilted.

2️⃣ Combine Everything

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Cooked meat

• Cooked veggie mixture

Stir together well.

3️⃣ Make It Creamy (High-Protein Swap)

Add Greek yogurt and mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy.

This replaces heavy cream or excessive cheese while keeping the casserole moist and high in protein.

4️⃣ Assemble

Transfer mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.

Sprinkle feta evenly over the top (remember — you don’t need much).

5️⃣ Bake

Bake at 375°F for 20–22 minutes, just until heated through.

Let cool slightly before serving.
