MINI BACON CHEESEBURGER-IN-A-BOWL WUTH CAYENNE SWEET POTATO FRIES
I’ve seen lot of variations of ‘big mac in a bowl’ on Slimming World forums and wanted to create something similar- a tasty way to have a burger without the bun. I made these burgers mini just because they look prettier, but overall this was a really tasty and satisfying meal.

- Remove the sweet potato fries from the microwave and spray generously with low calorie cooking spray, season with salt and pepper and then sprinkle over the cayenne pepper.
- Place fries onto a chip mesh or non-stick baking tray (carefully-they are quite delicate after being microwaved!) and put into the oven. put on a 15 minute timer
- Cut each rasher of bacon into 3 pieces and fry along with your burgers. Keep an eye and keep turning them so they don’t stick to the pan. Cook for about 7 minutes. Set aside the bacon when browned.
- Pop the burgers on a baking tray (pre-sprayed with low calorie cooking spray), put the bacon on top and divide the cheese between the 3. Pop into the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Assemble the salad in the bowl, add the chopped red pepper and place the cheesy burgers on top. Serve the fries alongside.
