Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey (freshly ground)

Chips

  • 2 cups thick-cut or kettle-style potato chips

Vegetables

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced onions (raw or caramelized)
  • ½ cup sliced pickles

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp)

Sauce & Seasonings

  • ½ cup burger sauce or dressing (e.g., blend of ketchup, mayo, mustard, or preferred sauce)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Your favorite spices for seasoning patties (e.g., garlic powder, paprika)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the patties: Season the ground beef or turkey with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Form evenly sized patties and cook them on medium-high heat until browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Set aside to rest briefly.
  2. Assemble the base: In a large bowl, start with a bed of shredded lettuce. This leafy base keeps the bowl fresh and crisp, forming the perfect crunch foundation beneath the chips.
  3. Add veggies and cheese: Layer diced tomatoes, onions, and pickles evenly over the lettuce. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top while the patties are still warm to let it melt slightly into the mix.
  4. Place the cooked patties: Slice or crumble the rested patties and arrange them nicely over the prepared veggies and cheese, allowing those meaty flavors to shine.
  5. Top with crispy potato chips and sauce: Right before serving, scatter a generous handful of crispy potato chips over the bowl for that signature crunch. Drizzle your chosen burger sauce or dressing generously to finish things off.

Notes

  • Use thick chips: Thin, flimsy chips can get soggy quickly, so thicker cuts hold up better in the bowl.
  • Keep chips last: Always add the potato chips just before eating to maintain their crispness.
  • Rest patties: Allow cooked patties to rest a few minutes to lock in juices and enhance flavor.
  • Chill veggies: Cold, freshly chopped vegetables contrast nicely with hot patties and melty cheese.
  • Customize sauces: Mix ketchup, mayo, and a dash of mustard or hot sauce for a simple, irresistible burger sauce.
