- chef's knife
- measuring spoons
- dry measuring cups
- large rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
For the burger bowls:
- 1 (20-ounce) package frozen waffle cut fries (I like Alexia seasoned waffle fries)
- 1½ pound ground round
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ (8-ounce) block sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup coarsely chopped dill pickle slices
For the burger sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I like Duke's mayonnaise)
- 2 tablespoon hickory barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise, bbq sauce, ketchup, mustard, and paprika in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground beef. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking up the meat into large chunks as it cooks.
- Divide the French fries between 4 serving bowls. Add lettuce, the ground beef, pickles, tomatoes, and cheese. Drizzle with the sauce before serving.
