Ingredients
- 1½ lb 90% lean ground beef
- 1½ lb sweet potatoes
- 4 slices american cheese slices
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch wedges, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper, spread on a sheet pan, and roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While potatoes roast, divide ground beef into 8 thin patties (about 3 oz each), then pan-fry 4 patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side until they reach 160°F; top each with a cheese slice and set aside, then cook remaining 4 patties the same way.
- Stack two beef patties together on each of four plates, then spoon 1 tablespoon ketchup on top of each stack.
- Divide roasted sweet potato wedges among the plates, toss mixed greens with 1 tablespoon melted butter, salt and pepper, and place a handful on the side of each plate.
- Picky eater tip: serve the patties, cheese and sweet potato wedges plain, with ketchup on the side.
- Make ahead: shape the patties and cut the sweet potato wedges up to 1 day ahead and store them covered in the fridge.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
