Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef 80/20 or lean
  • 2 large Russet or Sweet Potatoes cut into wedges or fries
  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce chopped
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Dill Pickles sliced
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Pickle Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • Cooking Oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the potatoes: Toss potato wedges with oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or roast on a sheet pan in the oven until crispy.
  • Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
  • Cook the beef: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into chunks or crumbles for texture. Drain excess grease if desired and season with salt and pepper.
  • Prep the vegetables: While the meat cooks, wash and chop the Romaine lettuce, slice the tomatoes, onions, and pickles.
  • Assemble the bowls: Start with a generous base of chopped Romaine lettuce.
  • Add toppings: Layer the cooked ground beef, crispy potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, red onions, and pickles over the lettuce.
  • Serve: Drizzle generously with the Special Sauce immediately before eating.
