Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.

- Season Meat: Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine and continue cooking briefly to meld flavors.
- Assemble Bowls: Once both the sweet potatoes and meat are cooked, assemble your burger bowls by layering shredded lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, thinly sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, and diced pickles. Finish by drizzling the special sauce on top.
