Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Toss the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil and your choice of seasonings including Onion Butter Seasoning, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Sauté the Onion: While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced yellow onion for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Kinder’s Buttery Burger Blend seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
- Melt the Cheese: Lay slices of American cheese over the cooked ground beef in the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, creating a rich, cheesy ground beef mixture.
- Assemble the Bowls: Distribute the crispy air-fried potatoes into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cheesy ground beef mixture. Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, and mayonnaise to taste.
