Ingredients For Cheeseburger Bowl Recipe:

Here are the ingredients for cheeseburger bowls.

Lean Ground Beef: I like to use a lean ground beef. You can also substitute with ground turkey.

Montreal Steak Seasoning: I use this seasoning to flavor my beef. You can use any seasoning you like for burgers like garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper.

Romaine Lettuce: Any lettuce will do. This adds delicious texture and bright colors. You can also use shredded iceberg lettuce.

Cheddar Cheese: I like to use shredded cheddar cheese but you can also use pepper jack or any cheese you prefer.

Bacon: I like to use applewood smoked bacon.

Dill Pickles: Pickles add a delicious salty flavor. You can us any pickles you prefer.

Tomatoes: Add a great color. You can use cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes or vine ripen tomatoes.

Red Onion: If you don’t love the flavor of raw red onion you can also use caramelized onion or grilled onions.

Sauce of Choice: I love Chick Fil A sauce for my burger bowls. You can also top these bowls with ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce or thousand island dressing for more of a cheeseburger salad.

Optional Toppings: This recipe is meant to be customized so add your favorite toppings of choice. Some additional ideas are avocado, sautéed mushrooms, onion rings, or blue cheese.

How To Make a Cheeseburger Bowl:

To make these cheeseburger bowls start by browning your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steak seasoning and stir to combine.

Preheat the oven to 450 F and cut the Russet potatoes into small pieces. Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Cook the bacon. I like to cook the bacon in the air fryer for about 10 minutes at 390 F. You can also cook the bacon in the oven at 425 for about 15 minutes.

Prep all the other toppings.

Assemble the burger bowls by layering the crispy potatoes, ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, pickles and sauce.
