This morning I was chatting with Victoria about what we should have for dinner. She ran over to the cookbook shelf and got out her Williams Sonoma Cooking Together Book and flipped through it until she found something she liked. First option was spaghetti and meatballs, but I really didn't want to make meatballs this morning. She then decided on Mini Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries. She read it to me and it sounds good. I made a copy of the page and told her that we could go to Sweetbay after school.
2 large Sweet Potatoes cut into sticks
2 tbs olive oil plus extra for greasing
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 pound of ground beef
2 slices of cheddar cheese, halved
4 small dinner rolls, split
Dill pickle slices, ketchup and mustard
Preheat oven to 400.
Spread out the potato sticks on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Suing clean hands or spatula, toss to coat evenly.
Bake until golden and crisp 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and keep warm.
Meanwhile, divide the meat into 4 equal patties about 1/2 inch thick.
About 10 minutes before the fries are ready, using a basting brush, brush a stove top grill pan or a cast iron pan with oil and place over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook, turning once until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes for medium Top each burger with a piece of cheese during the final minute of cooking.
Put each roll, cut side up on a serving plate. Place a burger on the bottom half of each roll. Accompany the burgers with pickle slices, ketchup and mustard. Serve with the sweet potato fries alongside.
I think I will cut up some lettuce and tomato too. We also will be having a salad on the side.
Well we had a little change of plans, Victoria did not have a good day at school so I made dinner this for dinner but just made full size burger.
