Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 1 Pound Ground Beef (90/10)
- 2 Teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Secret Sauce
- ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 Teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 3 Tablespoons Pickle Juice
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Other Ingredients
- 1 Bag Frozen French Fries
- 1 Yellow Onion (finely sliced)
- 3 Cups Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
- 1 Cup Dill Pickles (finely chopped)
- ¾ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Roma Tomatoes (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Cook the Fries: Start by cooking the frozen fries according to the package instructions until crispy and golden. Set aside while you prepare the other components.
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add avocado oil, then the ground beef. Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat. Add the finely sliced yellow onions and cook slowly, stirring every few minutes, until they become soft and a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. This slow cooking develops rich, sweet flavors.
- Make the Secret Sauce: In a small bowl or blender, combine Greek yogurt, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk or blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Fresh Ingredients: Chop the shredded iceberg lettuce, Roma tomatoes, and dill pickles into small pieces to ensure each bowl has a balanced mix of textures and flavors.
- Assemble the Burger Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of shredded lettuce. Layer on the cooked beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, fries, and chopped pickles. Top with caramelized onions, then drizzle generously with the secret sauce.
- Serve: Enjoy the burger bowls immediately while everything is warm and fresh.
Notes
- For crispier fries, bake or air fry according to package instructions instead of deep frying.
- Caramelizing onions is a low-and-slow process; don’t rush for the best flavor.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust seasoning in the beef mixture to taste.
- Serve with extra secret sauce on the side for dipping.
