Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef Lean beef for a healthier option.
  • 3 medium Red Potatoes Can substitute with brown rice.
  • 1 cup Onions Caramelized for added depth.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Colby Jack or pepper jack recommended.
  • 1/2 cup Mayo Adjust for desired creaminess.
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup Use low-sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 tbsp Mustard Dijon is a great choice.
  • 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup Pickles Adds crunch.
  • 1 cup Lettuce Any leafy greens work.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by boiling the red potatoes until they are tender, around 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain and mash them lightly with a fork.
  • In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  • Add the caramelized onions and Cajun seasoning to the beef and mix well. Cook for an additional few minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until smooth.

Assembly

  • Layer the mashed potatoes at the bottom of a bowl. Add a scoop of the beef mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef and let it melt slightly.
  • Top with pickles and a handful of lettuce. Drizzle the mayo mixture over everything.

Notes

For creamier mashed potatoes, add a splash of milk or butter. Customize your protein by swapping ground beef for turkey or a plant-based alternative.
