Description

Savory Smash Burger Bowl is a flavorful low-carb meal inspired by classic smash burgers. Made with seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, cheese, and a tangy burger sauce, it delivers all the taste of a burger in a bowl.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 medium red potatoes (or substitute with brown rice)
  • 1 cup onions, caramelized
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Colby Jack or pepper jack)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp ketchup (low-sugar optional)
  • 1 tbsp mustard (Dijon recommended)
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 cup pickles (optional)
  • 1 cup lettuce (optional)


Instructions

  1. If using potatoes, dice and cook until tender (boil, roast, or air fry). Set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and slightly crispy. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Season beef with Cajun seasoning and stir well.
  4. In a small bowl, mix mayo, ketchup, and mustard to create the sauce.
  5. Assemble bowls: start with potatoes or rice as the base.
  6. Top with seasoned beef, caramelized onions, and shredded cheese.
  7. Add pickles and lettuce if desired.
  8. Drizzle with burger sauce and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a true low-carb option, use lettuce instead of potatoes or rice.
  • Add tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
