Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2- Prepare and Roast the Lotatoes:

Cut the Lotatoes into ½-inch cubes.
Spread the cubed Lotatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Season with salt and pepper, and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway, until they are golden and crispy.

3- Make the Burger Sauce:

In a glass mixing bowl, combine the light-mayo, low-sugar ketchup, yellow mustard, and garlic powder.
Stir with a fork or spoon until smooth and thoroughly mixed.

4- Cook the Ground Beef:

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and begin to sear it.
Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up with a black and yellow silicone spatula as it cooks.
Once browned, mix in Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, and smash the beef down with the spatula to create a flat layer.
Place two slices of cheese per serve (8 slices in total) on top of the beef.
Cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese evenly.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the lid and turn off the heat.

5- Assemble the Bowls:

Divide the roasted Lotatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce equally between 4 glass meal prep bowls.
Carefully transfer each portion of the cheesy beef into the bowls.
Top each bowl with chopped pickles.
Drizzle the special burger sauce over all ingredients in each bowl using a squeeze bottle.
