Ingredients
For the Spice Mix
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowls
- 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)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preparation
- 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.
Cooking Potatoes
- 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.
Cooking Beef
- 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.
Making the Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the burger sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assembly
- 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.
Notes
Leftover Burger Bowls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Individual ingredients can be stored separately to keep everything fresh. Suggestions include using sweet potatoes for added sweetness or switching the protein for ground turkey or chicken.
