Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle relish
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb frozen french fries

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and glossy; refrigerate until serving.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and immediately sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Break the meat apart with a spatula, leaving it undisturbed for 2-3 minutes at a time to develop a charred crust; cook until fully browned (approx. 7-10 minutes).
  5. Prepare the potato base by air frying the frozen french fries at 400°F until crisp.
  6. Assemble the bowls by layering chopped Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  7. Top the greens with the seared ground beef and crispy fries, then drizzle with the prepared special sauce.
