Since we live in a condo we don't have easy access to a grill. We have found that using a cast iron skillet and steaming the burgers makes them juicy and with a little crisp on the outside. And you can't have burgers without fries! We love to make sweet potato fries in the oven. They are a much healthier option than regular fries; I have actually grown to prefer them.
1 package of lean, ground beef
Salt
Pepper
Dry Vermouth
2 slices of provolone cheese
2 sweet potatoes; peeled
2 cloves of garlic; chopped
Olive oil
Ketchup
1. Preheat oven to 450 Degrees F. Put a cookie sheet lined with foil in the oven while it heats up; this will make the fries crispy when you add them to the pan.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into half. Slice the sweet potatoes into even slices, about 1 inch think.
3. Put the sliced sweet potatoes in a gallon size baggie. Peel and chop the garlic; add to the baggie. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to the baggie. Seal the baggie and mix up the sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. When the oven is fully heated, add a little oil to the hot pan. Then add the sweet potato fries to the hot pan. Cook for 20 minutes. Flip the fries over and cook for 15 minutes more.
5. While the fries are cooking heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Season the meat and make the patties. When the fries are done cooking leave them on the hot pan.
6. When the skillet is hot, add a little bit of olive oil to the pan and the patties. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes. After each side has been cooked, cover the pan and let the burgers steam for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the cheese to the top of the burgers. Pour a little dry vermouth into the skillet. Cover again to steam and melt the cheese on top.
8. The finished meal
