Easy Burger Bowl with Sweet Potato Fries
Enjoy all your favorite burger flavors in a fresh bowl without the need for a bun.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a burger bowl when you are craving comfort food but want to keep things light. This recipe takes all the classic fixings and serves them up over a bed of greens with crispy sweet potato fries on the side.
My best tip for this dish is to season your ground beef well while it browns in the pan. A little extra garlic powder or onion powder makes a world of difference for the final taste.
