Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (or ground turkey or plant-based crumbles)
- 4 medium Red Potatoes (or riced cauliflower for low-carb)
- 1 medium Onion (diced, caramelized)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Colby Jack or pepper jack)
- 1/2 cup Mayo (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup Ketchup (low-sugar)
- 1 tbsp Mustard (Dijon for a twist)
- 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Pickles (or cucumbers)
- 2 cups Lettuce (any mix of leafy greens)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by washing and dicing your red potatoes. If using riced cauliflower, prepare it for the bowl. Dice your onion for caramelizing later.
- Par-Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- Caramelize the onions in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Cook the ground beef (or alternative) in the skillet with Cajun seasoning for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until well-browned.
- Combine the par-cooked potatoes with the meat and onions, stirring gently and cooking together for 5-7 minutes.
- Melt the cheese over the mixture in the skillet, covering it for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
- Assemble the bowl with a bed of lettuce, topped with the meat and potato mixture, and add pickles or cucumbers.
- Whisk together mayo, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl, adjusting flavors to taste.
- Drizzle the sauce over the assembled bowl and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Consider serving with a side of fresh fruit or sweet potato fries.
