Ingredients

- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil of choice
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- ¼-½ teaspoon lemon pepper
Ground Beef and Onions
- 4-6 slices bacon
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium white or sweet onion, sliced
- 1 pound 85% or 90% lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Special Sauce
- ¼ cup olive oil based mayo
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Dash of salt
The Fixings
- 1 small head of bib lettuce, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- ½-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sliced pickles
- 1 (8 oz) corn, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic salt, everything bagel seasoning, and lemon pepper until well-coated. Spread evenly on a greased large baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
- Cook the bacon, onions, and ground beef: Heat a large cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Add bacon slices and cook until the fat renders and the bacon is crispy. Remove bacon and set on paper towels to drain grease. Wipe the pan clean, leaving about ½ tablespoon of bacon fat. Add olive oil and sliced onions with ½ teaspoon salt to the pan. Sauté onions for 3-5 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Push onions to the pan’s side, increase heat to medium-high, add ground beef and let it brown undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, crumble the beef with a spatula, and cook through. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Mix the beef and onions back together. Stir in minced garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add Worcestershire sauce and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, combine thoroughly.
- Make the special sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil based mayo, Greek yogurt, ketchup, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the bowls: Place chopped bib lettuce as the base in bowls. Layer crispy bacon and the sautéed beef and onions over the lettuce. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced pickles, corn, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle generously with the special sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a cast iron skillet to cook bacon and beef.
- Adjust the hot sauce in the special sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Leftover roasted sweet potatoes can be stored and reheated for quick meals.
- Use fresh or thawed frozen corn depending on availability.
- To keep bowls dairy-free, omit the Greek yogurt and cheddar cheese or substitute with dairy-free alternatives.
