How to Store Leftover Burger Bowls

These delicious and healthy burger bowls make for great leftovers. To ensure the best quality and freshness of each ingredient, I recommend storing the ingredients separately. The beef in its own container, the special sauce in its own container, and then the toppings may be stored together in a separate container. Keep refrigerated and use within 3-4 days!

When you’re ready to eat your burger bowl, heat up the leftover beef and potatoes, and then add your toppings and special sauce on top.

These burger bowls are a great simple and delicious lunch or dinner to meal prep, so making them ahead of time and keeping the ingredients fresh in the fridge is a great option to save yourself time throughout the week!
