Instructions

Make the Caramelized Onion Aioli:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in brown sugar and continue cooking 5–10 more minutes until deep golden and jammy. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent burning.
- Transfer onions to a bowl and mix in mayo, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Season to taste.
Cook the Burgers:
- Divide ground beef into 5–6 equal portions and shape into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
- Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Sear burgers for 2–3 minutes per side until cooked to your liking.
Assemble the Bowls:
- In serving bowls, layer chopped romaine, sliced tomatoes, and roasted potatoes or fries.
- Top with burger patties and generous dollops of caramelized onion aioli. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add pickles, avocado, or shredded cheese for more toppings.
Use ground turkey for a leaner option.
