Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil or a baking rack.
Step 2
Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
Step 3
Stuff the meatballs: Form 12 equal portions of the mixture. Flatten each slightly, place a cube of cheese in the center, then roll into a meatball.
Step 4
Place meatballs on the prepared sheet and bake for 30 minutes until cooked through and golden.
Step 5
Air fry the fries: While meatballs bake, toss potato strips in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Step 6
Make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste, mustard, pickles, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and a splash of water to reach desired consistency. Stir until smooth.
Step 7
Assemble the bowls: In each bowl, layer chopped romaine, crispy fries, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, 3 meatballs, and a generous drizzle of burger sauce.
Step 8
Serve: Enjoy warm and watch everyone go back for seconds!
