The Most Enjoyable Meal Drop-Off: Burger Bowls

Build-your-own burger bowls may be one in every of my favourite meal drop-off concepts but!

You know I like a very good burger, haha. My burger bowl recipe is on frequent rotation at my home, and my children have been requesting Smash Burgers nearly weekly, which I’m completely good with as a result of they’re SO good (and straightforward to make!).

This has all of the enjoyable of burger night time, however the whole lot is packed individually so it stays contemporary, simple, and everybody can construct their bowl precisely how they need it.

I like this sort of meal drop-off as a result of it feels enjoyable, however it’s nonetheless actually sensible. Everything is packed individually, so the fries keep crisp, the toppings keep contemporary, and nobody is caught with a soggy burger scenario.

Kids can preserve it easy with beef, fries, and cheese, and adults can add all of the toppings, sauce, pickles, onions, bacon, avocado, no matter they’re feeling. It’s mainly burger night time with out anybody having to toast buns or pull out half the fridge!

For the principle meal, I packed an enormous container with my endlessly favourite roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned burger beef, and crispy fries. It’s hearty, kid-friendly, and such a enjoyable switch-up from a daily burger.

For the fries, I prefer to air fry them proper earlier than packing if the meal will likely be eaten quickly. If they’re consuming later, I’ll often ship frozen fries as an alternative to allow them to air fry them contemporary after they’re prepared.

Then I packed a separate toppings container with all the good things:

• Finely shredded iceberg lettuce
• Avocado
• Pickles
• Red onion
• Cheese
• Bacon
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Ketchup
• My BEST burger sauce

This is the half that makes the entire meal really feel enjoyable. The burger sauce is de facto the star right here, and the toasted sesame seeds give it that little “burger bun” second with out truly needing buns!

I additionally added Lay’s potato chips as a result of burger night time wants chips. I don’t make the foundations right here, haha!

And actually, chips are one in every of my favourite issues so as to add to a meal drop-off. They’re simple, acquainted, and at all times get eaten. Nobody is mad a few container of chips displaying up with dinner.

For the aspect, I made my greatest grilled Mexican street corn, and WOW, it’s so good with burger bowls.

The smoky grilled corn, creamy topping, contemporary lime, spices, and cotija make the entire meal really feel additional summery and enjoyable. It’s particular sufficient to really feel like a deal with, however nonetheless informal sufficient for a meal drop-off, which is precisely what I like.

And as a result of I like including one thing chilly and contemporary, I packed fruit “fries.”

I reduce watermelon, mango, and cantaloupe into fry shapes and added my well-known fruit dip on the aspect.

Fruit that’s already washed, reduce, and able to eat at all times looks like a win, particularly when another person did the work!

And as a result of I at all times like including one thing do-it-yourself and baked, I packed my favourite chocolate-chip muffins.

They’re comfortable, loaded with chocolate chips, and excellent for breakfast the following morning or a little bit deal with after dinner.

That’s one purpose I like including muffins to a meal drop-off. They make the meal stretch a little bit additional, and it’s so good to have another factor already performed for the following day.

For dessert, I packed strawberry salsa with chocolate “chips” and graham crackers for dipping.

It’s contemporary and lightweight, however nonetheless looks like a deal with. The strawberries get juicy and candy and the chocolate “chips” make it a lot extra enjoyable!

Kind of like fruity dessert nachos, and really, superb. The recipe is under for paid subscribers. ❤️

If I’ve an additional minute, I additionally love including just a few little issues that make the meal simpler:

• Disposable containers so nothing needs to be washed or returned
• Labels on the sauces and toppings
• Paper plates or bowls
• Napkins or paper towels
• Drinks if there are children, like juice boxes, lemonade, or mini sports drinks

Those little extras are by no means required, however they actually could make the entire thing really feel simpler for the individual receiving it!

Hopefully this offers you a enjoyable new thought on your subsequent meal drop-off. Steal the entire burger bowl unfold, steal the fruit fries, or simply make the muffins and name it good. 🙂

XOXO, Chelsea

And now for that strawberry salsa and chocolate chips recipe…

I’m obsessive about this deal with as a result of it takes about 10 minutes, feels a little bit surprising, and at all times will get individuals asking what’s in it. It’s candy, contemporary, a little bit creamy from the chocolate, and SO good scooped up with graham crackers.
