Instructions

1. Brown your ground beef over medium-high heat, season to taste with S&P, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside
2. Slice sweet potatoes into fries, and then soak in cold water for 30+ minutes to remove starch for maximum crispiness
3. Pat them dry and toss in 1 T oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and S&P
4. Spread in a single layer in an air fryer and air fry at 390℉ for 16 minutes, tossing halfway through
5. While the sweet potato fries are cooking, caramelize the onions. Heat 1 T oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add onion, stirring frequently
6. Once they begin to brown, add tamari and drizzle of honey, and continue sautéing until translucent and brown
7. Make the special sauce: whisk (puree if you want a smooth consistency) all special sauce ingredients
8. Assemble your bowls: start with a bed of chopped butter lettuce, top with freshly cooked ground hamburger, caramelized onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, and sweet potato fries or wedges
9. Drizzle with the special sauce, top with cheese if not dairy free. One of my favorite meals!
