How to Make Burger Bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2-3 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 500 grams lean beef mince
- Lettuce (shredded)
- Cheese (dairy-free or regular)
- Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard (dijon or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions:
- Mix together the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Wash and cut the potatoes into chips, then pat them dry with paper towels. Place the chips in a large mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle in half of the spice mix. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30-40 minutes, or in the air fryer for about 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Once browned, sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until the meat is darkened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- In a small bowl, combine the burger sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Once the potatoes are ready, divide them among your bowls. Fill the remaining space in each bowl with shredded lettuce, then add the cooked beef mince, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle the burger sauce over the top and serve.
How to Serve Burger Bowls
Serve your Burger Bowls hot for the best flavor. You can add more toppings if you like, such as avocado, diced tomatoes, or even different sauces. These bowls are satisfying on their own, but they pair well with a side salad or a refreshing drink.
How to Store Burger Bowls
If you have leftovers, store the ingredients separately to keep them fresh. Place the cooked beef, potato chips, and toppings in airtight containers. They can stay in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat the beef and potatoes and assemble your bowls.
Tips to Make Burger Bowls
- Make sure to cut your potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same time.
- Feel free to customize the spices to match your taste.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
- Don’t skip the pickle juice in the sauce; it adds a nice tangy flavor!
Variation
You can easily turn these Burger Bowls into a chicken version by replacing the beef mince with minced chicken. Adjust the spices accordingly for a different flavor profile. You can also try using different types of cheese or adding grilled vegetables for more nutrition.
