Burger Bowl Recipe

How to Make a Burger Bowl
Burger bowls are a quick and easy dinner that the whole family will love! Just cook up your ground beef and then let everyone pick out all of their favorite toppings!
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes. Cook until no longer pink.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then stir to season the beef. Set aside while you prepare the bowl ingredients.
- To assemble the bowls, place 1 cup of lettuce into each bowl. Make sure the bowls you use are large enough to fit all of the ingredients.
- Divide the rest of the ingredients evenly between the bowls. I like to layer the ingredients in the bowl starting with the meat. Then layer in the French fries, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and bacon.
- Drizzle on the sauce or dressing of your choice.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!
