All you have to do is throw some ground beef in a bowl, add some spices and a couple of eggs. Then mix it all up.
Separate the meat into 4 balls and then, smoosh the center of each ball into a bowl shape and smooth out the edges.
Scoop some mashed potatoes on top of each bowl (and if you want to make it super easy – use instant potatoes).
Then, drizzle on a little BBQ sauce, sprinkle on some cheese and bake.
It’s really that easy!
