Description
A delicious and hearty dish combining sweet potatoes with all the flavors of a cheeseburger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- ¼ cup white onion, diced
- ¼ cup tomato, diced
- ¼ cup baby dill pickles, sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then place them on the baking sheet. Poke a few holes all over with a fork and rub them lightly with oil.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are super soft and easy to pierce with a fork.
- While they bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease and stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- For the sauce, whisk together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and salt until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F once the potatoes are done. Slice them open, fluff up the insides with a fork, then fill them with the seasoned beef and shredded cheese.
- Return them to the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Top with lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles, and a drizzle of sauce. Finish with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are thoroughly washed before baking.
- Customize toppings according to preference.
- For a healthier option, lean ground turkey can be used instead of beef.
