@kalejunkie 🍔 ULTIMATE BURGER BOWLS, with a high protein “secret” sauce. You’ve seen burger bowls everywhere, but trust me, you haven’t had one quite like THIS. Comment LINKS for items I used in this video!

5 five tips for make the ULTIMATE burger bowl!

1. Just because you are skipping the bun, don’t skip adding fries! 
2. Season the meat well—no one wants bland beef!
3. Always, always take the time to make caramelized onions for a true burger experience.
4. Add pickle juice to your “secret sauce,” for an extra punch! And hot take, use greek yogurt > mayo for more protein!
5. Chop your veggies small so you get a bit of everything in each bite.

Makes 4 servings
Beef
2 tb avocado oil
1 lb ground beef (90/10)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup greek yogurt
2 tb ketchup 
2 tsp dijon mustard
3 tb pickle juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Bowls
1 bag frozen french fries (I used @jesseandbens)
1 yellow onion, finely sliced
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce 
1 cup finely chopped dill pickles (@grillospickles)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
2 roma tomatoes, finely chopped

First, make fries according to package instructions, then saute the beef in a pan over medium heat, along with the spices until cooked through. Next, make the caramelized onions. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a pan over low heat, stirring every few minutes until caramelized—about 30 min! It’s worth it so be patient. Make the secret sauce. Add sauce ingredients to a blender or small bowl and blend/whisk until smooth. Chop/slice all veggies and assemble your bowls—lettuce, beef mixture, cheese, tomatoes, fries and pickles. Drizzle the sauce on top and enjoy!
