Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Burger Sauce
- â…” cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 3 tbsp pickle juice
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
Bowl Toppings
- 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup dill pickle chips
- 3 cups frozen French fries or sweet potato fries, cooked until crispy
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined to ensure the seasoning is distributed throughout the meat.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned ground beef and cook thoroughly, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Make the Burger Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth and well blended for a tangy, creamy sauce.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four bowls. Layer each bowl with equal portions of cooked ground beef, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, dill pickle chips, crispy French fries, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the homemade burger sauce over the top of each assembled bowl for extra flavor. Serve immediately while the fries are still crispy for the best experience.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use baked sweet potato fries instead of regular fries.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein.
- The burger sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Ensure fries are cooked crispy to add a nice texture contrast to the bowl.
- Add avocado slices or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
