Ingredients:
For the Burger:
-
1 Large Vidalia Onion, thinly sliced
-
1.5 lbs Ground Beef
-
1 Egg
-
2 tsp Tomato Paste
-
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
-
4-6 Hamburger Buns, to serve
-
4-6 Slices Havarti Cheese
-
4-5 Butter Lettuce Leaves
For the Chili Lime Sweet Potato Fries:
- 2 Large Sweet Potatoes
Directions:
-
In a medium skillet over medium low heat make your caramelized onions by adding 2 Tbsp olive oil to the pan and once shimmering add the onions. Cook for 45-60 minutes stirring occasionally carefully not to let the onions brown. Set aside.
-
To make the fries, preheat the oven to 425F. Wash potatoes and peel the skin if desired. Cut potatoes into ½ in strips. Toss potatoes with olive oil and rub. Roast potatoes for 25 minutes turning the fries halfway through. Finish fries with sea salt and lime juice.
-
In a large bowl add beef, egg, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rub, and salt. Mix until combined. Form into desired size patties.
-
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Brush the inside of the burger buns with 1-2 tsps of olive oil and toast until golden brown 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
-
Increase the heat to medium high and add 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. Add burgers and cook 4-5 minutes on the first side or until meat is caramelized, then flip the burger and add the cheese on top and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
-
Assemble the burger by placing butter lettuce, then your burger patty, caramelized onions, and 1-2 Tbsp Red Pepper Jam.
