Ingredients  

For The Roasted Potatoes

  • 1 pound baby potatoes sliced in half
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For The Burger Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1½ tablespoons dill pickle relish OR finely chopped dill pickles

For The Ground Beef

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef I used 80/20
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For The Toppings

  • 4 cups iceberg lettuce shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup dill pickles sliced
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar

Instructions

Roasting The Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the potatoes in half and dry well with a paper towel. In a large bowl add potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well.
    1 pound baby potatoes, 1½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown and fork tender. Potatoes will take about 25-30 minutes, and flipping halfway through will help make sure all sides are crispy.

Making The Burger Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish until smooth. Set to the side or chill in the fridge until you are ready to use.
    ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1½ tablespoons dill pickle relish

Cooking The Ground Beef

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and let it warm, then add the ground beef. Cook until no longer pink, about 7–10 minutes. Drain any excess grease well.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound ground beef
  • Add salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef. Cook and stir for about 1 minute. Then remove from the heat and cover with a lid, setting the beef to the side.
    ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Making The Bowls

  • Start with lettuce as the base, then layer potatoes, beef, tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and cheese. Drizzle with burger sauce and enjoy!
    4 cups iceberg lettuce, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, ½ cup dill pickles, 1 small red onion, ¾ cup shredded cheddar

Notes

The potatoes can also be roasted in an air fryer at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy golden brown on the outside and tender when poked with a fork. Shaking the basket halfway through cooking will help to crisp the potatoes evenly.
Want your burger sauce to taste more like Big Mac Sauce? Try adding a pinch each of paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. I also do this if I leave the relish out of the sauce to give it more flavor.
Make the cheese melty by adding it at the very end of cooking the ground beef. Sliced american cheese or other cheese flavors can be added based on your preferences.
When it is time to serve, you can easily serve this meal family style and let everyone build their own bowl. I like to add the lettuce to my family's bowls ahead of time, and let them add the ground beef, potatoes and other toppings and sauce to their own preferences.
