Ingredients

Scale

For Both Bowls

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes, warmed
  • ½ cup fresh salsa or Brazilian vinaigrette
  • 1 cup canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Meatless Chimichurri Toppings

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup Chimichurri sauce
  • Green onions or chives, for garnish

Hearty Brisket Bowl Toppings

  • 1 cup leftover brisket
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapenos
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • Green onions or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: If making mashed potatoes from scratch, follow a creamy mashed potato recipe taking about 20 minutes. Alternatively, gently warm pre-made mashed potatoes on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot and fluffy.
  2. Warm the Pinto Beans and Corn: Drain and rinse canned pinto beans. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add beans, and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Optionally, warm the corn the same way to enhance sweetness and flavor.
  3. Heat the Brisket: For the brisket bowl, warm leftover brisket in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly heated.
  4. Prepare the Vinaigrette or Salsa: Make a fresh Brazilian vinaigrette in 10 minutes or use store-bought salsa, draining any excess liquid to avoid sogginess.
  5. Assemble the Potato Base: Spoon about 1 cup of the warmed mashed potatoes into each bowl as the base.
  6. Build the Meatless Chimichurri Bowl: Divide shredded cheddar cheese, pinto beans, corn, salsa or vinaigrette, diced avocado, and chimichurri sauce evenly over the potato base. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives.
  7. Build the Hearty Brisket Bowl: Add warmed brisket, pinto beans, salsa or vinaigrette, pickled jalapenos, and fresh parsley atop the potato base. Garnish with green onions or chives.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Your loaded potato bowl is ready! Add any extra toppings you prefer, then serve warm and enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can prepare mashed potatoes from scratch using your favorite recipe or use pre-made mashed potatoes for convenience.
  • Heating the beans and corn in olive oil enhances their flavors.
  • Use fresh salsa or Brazilian vinaigrette to add brightness; draining excess liquid prevents sogginess.
  • Green onions or chives make great garnishes for added freshness.
  • Leftover brisket or any slow-cooked beef can be used in the brisket bowl variation.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to your taste preferences.
