Ingredients
- 1⅛ lbs Ground Beef
- 4 Potato Buns
- 3 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 11/2 lbs Sweet Potatoes
- 2 oz Sweet Piquante Peppers
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Pimento Cheese Spice Blend (Garlic Powder, Ground Yellow Mustard, & Sugar)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide wedges. Place on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer. Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Set aside in a warm place.
-
While the sweet potatoes roast, grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater; place in a medium bowl. Finely chop the peppers. Halve the buns.
-
While the sweet potatoes continue to roast, add the mayonnaise, spice blend, and peppers to the bowl of cheese. Stir to thoroughly combine; season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
While the sweet potatoes continue to roast, place the ground beef in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to incorporate. Using your hands, form the mixture into four ¾-inch-thick patties; transfer to a plate. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties; cook 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Set aside in a warm place.
-
Working in batches if necessary, add the buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond. Toast on medium-high 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a work surface.
-
Divide the cooked patties among the toasted bun bottoms. Top with the pimento cheese. Complete the burgers with the bun tops. Divide the burgers and roasted sweet potatoes among 4 dishes. Enjoy!
