Burger and Fries? How about a Stuffed Burger with Roasted Sweet Potatoes?
Giant Stuffed Burger Preparation and cooking time: 35 - 55 minutes12oz (360gr) ground beef (mince)
1 onion
2 tsp olive oil
3 tbs dry bread crumbs
1 tbs ketchup
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2oz, (60gr) sliced or shredded cheese I use Colby
If cooking on the barbecue: wire grill-basket or a mesh grill pan
If cooking in the oven: baking sheet
Chop onion and sauté in olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until tender and starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
Oil grill basket, mesh pan or baking sheet. Divide beef in half. On plates or waxed paper pat each half into a thin patty, 8 or 9 inches (20 - 23cm) in diameter. Put the 'bottom' patty in the grill basket, pan or on the baking sheet. Mix bread crumbs, ketchup, soy sauce, mustard and garlic powder and immediately spread over 1 patty to within 1/2 inch of edge. Spread fried onions on top of bread crumbs mixture and cheese on top of onions. (It gets rather 'high' but it works) Flatten the second patty a bit more and carefully put it on top and work the edges together with your fingers to seal.
If using the barbecue, grill for 8 - 10 minutes over medium-high heat, carefully turn and grill another 8 - 10 or until done. If using oven, bake at 400F for 35 - 40 minutes or until done.
Hint: When cheese starts oozing out of the edge I consider it done.
Remove to platter, cut into wedges and serve.
2 sweet potatoes
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp herbes de Provence
salt and pepper
Slice potatoes in half the long way, then in half the long way again. Then cut into chunks 1 - 1 1/2" (4cm) wide.
Put remaining ingredients into large bowl and mix well. Add potatoes and stir, coating thoroughly.
Barbecue Grill: Put them into an old metal pie plate or cake tin or foil barbecue container. Cook on barbecue (grill) for 30 - 35 minutes or until done. You'll need to stir them occasionally as they tend to develop 'hot spots' and can get a little crispy.
Oven: Arrange potatoes on baking sheet with rim (I use my trusty, round pizza pan) Bake at 400F for 30 minutes. You can turn once if you like to fuss but I usually don't bother. Remove from oven and serve.
Tomatoes optional
2 nice tomatoes
Slice and serve.
