  • Yield4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice (~ ½-inch)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Ground Beef

  • 1 pound ground beef 
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard

Burger Sauce

  • ¾ cup (175g) mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1½ tablespoons mustard
  • 6 tablespoons (90g) finely chopped pickles or relish
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Bowl Toppings

  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • sliced pickles
  • sliced red onion
  • avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil ( 1½ tablespoons), salt (1 teaspoon), pepper (½ teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), and smoked paprika (1 teaspoon). Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast 20-25 minutes, tossing once halfway, until you have golden brown spots and soft centers.
  2. Make the burger sauce: Combine mayonnaise (¾ cup), ketchup (3 tablespoons), mustard (1½ tablespoons), chopped pickles (6 tablespoons), pickle juice (2 teaspoons), and garlic powder (¾ teaspoon). Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Cook the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef (1 pound) and season with salt (1 teaspoon), pepper (½ teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), and onion powder (1 teaspoon). Let it sit without touching for 2-3 minutes to develop some color, then begin breaking it up as it finishes cooking. Once cooked through, add Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon) and mustard (1 teaspoon) and stir to combine.
  4. Assemble: Divide sweet potatoes and beef between bowls. Add toppings as desired. Drizzle with burger sauce.
