High-Protein Burger Bowl
A lighter, bunless High-Protein Burger Bowl that layers crispy roasted potatoes, lean seasoned beef, fresh veggies, and a tangy special sauce into a hearty, protein-packed meal.
Ingredients
Potato Base
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced into small cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Seasoned Beef
- 1 lb lean ground beef (about 90/10)
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
Special Sauce
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (or light mayo)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
Bowl Assembly
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Toss the diced Yukon gold potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated, then spread them out in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes until they are golden and crisp on the edges, flipping once during cooking so they brown evenly.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook, breaking it into crumbles, until no longer pink.
- Season the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then let it cook for a few more minutes so the spices blend with the meat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth to make the special sauce.
- Prepare the fresh toppings by chopping the romaine lettuce, dicing the roma tomatoes, and slicing the avocado.
- To assemble each bowl, add a layer of roasted potatoes, top with a generous scoop of seasoned beef, then add romaine, tomatoes, and avocado. Drizzle the special sauce over the top and serve.
Notes
For easier meal prep, keep the sauce, cooked beef, and roasted potatoes in separate containers and combine them with fresh veggies just before eating so the textures stay crisp and fresh.
