Start by cooking brown rice according to package instructions, which typically takes about 30 minutes. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then stir in the rice, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for about 8 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.

While the beef is cooking, chop your veggies: dice cherry tomatoes, shred lettuce, and slice pickles. Set toppings aside ready for assembly.

In large serving bowls, layer cooked brown rice as the base, followed by a scoop of beef. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and pickles. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix together ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. Drizzle this mixture generously over the assembled bowls.
