Smash Burger Bowl

Print Recipe

A fun twist on classic burgers, this Smash Burger Bowl combines crispy potatoes, savory beef, and gooey cheese for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (lean preferred)
  • 1 lb red potatoes, diced
  • 1–2 cups shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • Pickles
  • Extra lettuce
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry for 16–18 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
  2. Caramelize the onions: Heat a skillet over medium-low with a little olive oil. Add diced onions and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the beef: In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef, break it up, and press it into the pan to create crispy edges. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, ketchup, mustard, and Cajun seasoning until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Add crispy potatoes to bowls, top with beef, caramelized onions, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with the special sauce and finish with lettuce and optional toppings.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding crispy bacon or fried onions. Use low-fat ground beef for a healthier option. Feel free to switch up the cheese based on your preference.
