This Easy Burger Bowl combines seasoned plant-based or ground beef, fries, caramelized onions, fresh toppings, cheese, and a creamy special sauce.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Protein2
  • 1-pound lean ground beef, 93%/7% OR 1-pound plant-based protein alternative
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • For the Bowls
  • 2 cups frozen French fries
  • 2-4 cups Iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2-3 Roma tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup 2% cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramelized onions. These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble your bowls.
  2. Cook the fries. Prepare your fries according to the package directions or your preferred homemade method. I like using the air fryer because it gives the fries a nice crisp exterior without requiring much hands-on time.
  3. Cook the beef or plant-based alternative. Add the ground beef or plant-based ground beef alternative to a large skillet over medium heat. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  4. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, or until the plant-based alternative is heated through and nicely browned.
  5. Make the special sauce. While the beef or plant-based alternative cooks, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Give it a taste and adjust the ingredients to your liking. Want more mustard? Add it! Prefer a little more ketchup? Go for it.
  6. Assemble the bowls. Start with a base of Iceberg lettuce. Add the seasoned beef or plant-based alternative, fries, caramelized onions, tomatoes, pickles, and cheese. Drizzle the special sauce over everything and serve immediately.
