Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey

Greens and Vegetables

  • 4 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens, chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
  • Optional: avocado slices, bacon bits, jalapeños

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Condiments

  • Ketchup, to taste
  • Mustard, to taste
  • Optional: mayonnaise

Crunchy Topping

  • 1 to 1.5 cups potato chips (preferably thicker-cut or kettle-cooked)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat: Season the ground beef or turkey with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices (such as garlic powder). Cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces for the bowl.
  2. Chop the Fresh Ingredients: While the meat cooks, chop the romaine lettuce or mixed greens, slice the tomatoes and red onion, and gather the pickles. Having the fresh ingredients ready makes assembly quick and organized.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the chopped greens first, then add the cooked meat. Next, add tomatoes, onions, and pickles. Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese, and add a handful of potato chips either on the side or scattered on top for immediate crunch.
  4. Dress and Serve: Drizzle ketchup and mustard over everything or serve them on the side. Optionally, add avocado slices or a dollop of mayonnaise to enrich the bowl’s flavor. Serve immediately to keep the chips crispy.

Notes

  • Add potato chips just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Season meat generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for optimal flavor.
  • Balance soft ingredients with crunchy textures for an exciting bite.
  • Prep veggies ahead of time to speed up assembly on busy days.
  • Choose thicker-cut or kettle-cooked chips for durability in the bowl.
