Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries:

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Meat:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Caramelized Onions:

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 6 cups lettuce, chopped or shredded (iceberg or Romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 cup hamburger pickles

Instructions

Sweet potato fries:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Thinly slice 1 large sweet potato into ¼ inch thick, and into strips.
  • Place sweet potato strips in a large mixing bowl. Toss evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon saltand ½ teaspoon black pepper.

    A baking sheet lined with parchment paper holds evenly spaced, uncooked sweet potato fries arranged in rows, ready for baking.
  • Bake for 9 minutes, flip each potato strip and then bake for an additional 7-9 minutes (until crispy and slightly golden).

Hamburger:

  • Place 1 pound ground beef in a large skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Spoon cooked meat into a small paper-towel lined bowl and set aside.
    Note: If you're using a fattier beef, you may need to drain the grease before continuing. A small amount (about a tablespoon) of grease in the pan is fine.
