Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large Walla Walla sweet onion, diced
  • 1-2 tsp avocado oil
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • stevia (to taste)
  • 4-6 slices American cheese (or shredded cheddar)
  • 1-2 Sweet potato fries (store-bought, like Actual Veggies) OR sliced fresh

Burger Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • pickle juice (to thin sauce out)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
    If you’re using frozen sweet potato fries, air fry them according to the package directions until crispy.
    If you’re using fresh sweet potatoes, toss the diced potatoes with a little avocado oil and salt. Air fry at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and tender.
  • Brown the Beef
    While the sweet potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Caramelize the Onions
    In the same skillet, add a small splash of avocado oil and the diced onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
    Add the balsamic vinegar and a small sprinkle of stevia. Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the onions are caramelized, slightly sticky, and sweet. Remove from heat.
  • Make the Sauce
    In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Slowly add pickle juice until the sauce reaches a smooth, drizzleable consistency.
  • Assemble the Bowl
    Layer sweet potatoes, ground beef, cheese, and caramelized onions in a bowl. Drizzle generously with the burger sauce and enjoy warm.
