Author’s Notes
Burger Night, But Make It a Bowl!
I promise this is not one of those sad, boring lettuce bowls. This Burger Bowl is loaded with crispy sweet potato fries, juicy seasoned beef, and a sauce so good you’ll be finding excuses to drizzle it on everything.
It’s faster than hitting the drive-thru, way more fun to load up with toppings, and my whole family devours it without a single complaint. Trust me—you’re gonna want to make this on repeat.
Burger Bowl Recipe Ingredients
The full recipe is below, but here are a few quick notes:
| Ingredient | What to Know |
|---|---|
| Fries | It is satisfying to Alexia’s sweet potato fries, but any kind works, even plain |
| Yellow onion | Grate a little for the sauce, dice the rest to cook with the beef |
| Ground beef (80/20) | Juicier and more flavorful, don’t swap for lean |
| Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika | My go-to burger spice mix |
| Beef bouillon powder | Adds rich, beefy flavor and takes it up a notch |
| Worcestershire sauce | Brings that classic burger flavor at the end |
Variations
Want to skip the fries? Try roasted sweet potatoes instead!
