Grass-fed beef subs in as a savory vessel you can fill with hearty veggies and crispy bacon.
Sweet potatoes, buttery mushrooms and green peppers come together in this filling burger bowl. After cooking, we top with a generous amount of Paleo sour cream (we love this 5-minute sour cream recipe) and finish off with chopped onions and smoky bacon.
To get started, melt the ghee in a medium skillet and sauté the mushrooms with bell peppers for about five minutes. The veggies should be slightly soft at this point, but will continue cooking once they’re placed in the oven.

Next, combine the ingredients for the burger bowls in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Be sure to use 93% lean ground beef so that they don’t fall apart or shrink while cooking. You’ll need them to be sturdy enough to shape and hold additional toppings later.
When ready, divide the mixture into four equal pieces and roll each one into a ball. Use a clean, wide-mouth jar to press and shape the ground beef into four bowls, then use your fingers to gently fill in any gaps. Place the burger bowls onto a prepared casserole dish and set aside.
Fill each burger bowl with mashed sweet potatoes followed by the sautéed veggies. Cover the casserole dish with a large baking sheet and leave a small crack open to allow the steam to escape. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
When finished, top each bowl with crumbled bacon, a drizzle of Paleo sour cream, and green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
