Ingredients

Burger Bowls

  • 1 pound ground beef 85/15 is recommended
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

Toppings

  • ¼ cup crumbled bacon
  • ¼ cup chopped pickles
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ranch dressing and chives for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Crumble beef in a large bowl and add Worcestershire sauce, seasonings, and bread crumbs, then work together with your hands.
  • Once combined, work the beef into each well of a muffin pan until it forms a bowl. The meat will shrink slightly while cooking, so I recommend ensuring the beef raises higher than the lip.
  • Fill the bowls with the toppings of your choice, such as onion, bacon, and pickles. Then top with cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
  • Garnish with a drizzle of ranch dressing and diced chives.

Notes

Storage:
  • Store any leftover burger bowl components separately, in airtight containers, in the fridge for up to 3 days for maximum freshness. Reheat the beef in the oven until warmed through, and enjoy with any fresh toppings.
