Take everything you love about a veggie burger dinner (including the fries) and serve it in bowl form. Veggie Burger Bowls are easy to customize – just set out all of your favorite burger toppings and let everyone build their own!

Veggie burger bowls solve most of the most annoying problems that come with planning dinner.

Don’t want a bunch of dishes to wash? Veggie burger bowls are served in just one bowl.

Don’t have a bunch of time? 30 minutes will do the trick. Just get the freezer fries cooking and you can prep everything else in the amount of time it takes for them to cook. 

Picky eaters? No problem. Set all of the toppings out and let everyone build their dinner just the way they like it.

These have been a go-to meal for us throughout the year when we want burgers for dinner but don’t want to mess with forming burger patties, firing up the grill, or customizing everyone’s requests. And if you’re a household that has different eating types, it’s easy to serve meat-based burgers alongside the veggie ones so that everyone has what they like.

How to Make Veggie Burger Bowls

The easiest way to make a veggie burger bowl is to pick up your favorite vegetarian burger patties and crumble them into a pan to saute them. You can serve the patties whole, but I love the look you get when the burger patties are broken up into bite-sized pieces. For a visual, check out this video on Instagram. 

But here are the steps:

1. Bake the fries. The shortcut version is to use freezer fries and bake them according to package directions. Or make your own baked fries or potato wedges (can’t ever go wrong with Oven-Roasted Ranch Potato Wedges). 
2. Saute the veggie burger patties, breaking them apart as they cook. 
3. Set out the rest of the ingredients you need to build the bowls. You can use anything you like on burgers, but a good starting point is romaine lettuce, shredded cheese, pickles, chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and some sauce options (see below for ideas).

Keep it Saucy

The secret to any great one bowl meal is the sauce. So don’t skimp on sauces when you’re making these bowls. Here are a few options that would be great:

• Copycat Raising Cane’s Sauce (so good)
• Ketchup (classic)
• Ketchup and Mayo combined (I’d use a 1:1 ratio)
• Trader Joe’s Magnifisauce 
• Dijon Mustard Sauce
• Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce (especially if you like BBQ-style burgers)
• Sriracha Mayo Sauce
