When I was a kid, I was not keen on the idea of different foods on the plate I was eating from touching. I wouldn’t say I was extreme about it, but I did make my concerns clear to my mom when she was placing items on my plate for whatever meal we were enjoying.
Ironically, now that I’m an adult, I find myself making bowls out of just about anything, and I am positively loving the experience. So, when I came across a recipe for Burger Bowls from pinchofyum.com, I absolutely had to share it with any other bowl-lovers out there. Check it out.
“Burger Bowls with House Sauce and Ranch Fries
“Ingredients
“Burger Bowls:
- Diced burger pickles
- 1 lb. ground beef (85/15 for the juiciest)
- 2 teaspoons burger seasoning (one teaspoon per side)
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
“Ranch Fries:
- 1 22–ounce bag frozen waffle fries
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 1-ounce packet ranch seasoning mix (or 3 tablespoons)
“House Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 clove grated garlic
“Instructions
“For the ranch fries: Bake the fries according to package directions. Add butter to the sheet pan and toss to get the fries kinda juicy. Then toss those juicy fries with ranch seasoning, adding more or less depending on how many fries you make, and your level of ranch obsession. Yummy.
“For the sauce: Whisk your sauce. Taste and season with salt. Or, use a store-bought burger sauce!
“For the beef: Heat a cast iron over high heat with no oil (use a well-seasoned pan). You want that pan to be very hot so it’ll sear the beef. Season one side of the ground beef with 1 teaspoon burger seasoning. Add the ground beef to the hot pan, seasoning side down (see video for how I did this straight from package). Resist the urge to break it up immediately – leave it undisturbed for several minutes to get a nice browned crust. The fat will start to render and it should start to develop some browning.
“To finish the beef: Sprinkle the exposed side with the other teaspoon of seasoning. After a few minutes, flip the beef in large chunks – you want to break it up into fork-sized bits, but not too small – this just keeps it juicy and makes it more pleasant to eat with a fork. Once it’s well-browned, remove from heat
“Assemble: Put it all together! The juicy burger crumbles, the ranch fries, the toppings, the house sauce. It’s SO yum,” the recipe explains.
These sound absolutely incredible.
