- Begin by preparing and cooking the beets for the Tangy Beet Salad. Next, create the Crispy Spirally Sweet Potatoes and bake them while preparing the remaining ingredients for the Tangy Beet Salad. Each of those recipes have in-depth instructions with time saving tips.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the "beef burger flavoring" ingredients.
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef and mix thoroughly with the flavoring blend.
- Form into 6-8 patties. Either cover and refrigerate until ready to cook them (no more than 4 hours) or fire up the grill.
- I often use a skillet to cook these with minimal or no added oil. If you go this route - flip regularly and ensure you don't turn the heat too high that the oils begin to smoke. If you suspect uneven cooking, turn down the temperature and cover intermittently.
- Timing Tip: When the spiralized sweet potatoes have about 20 minutes left to cook, I recommend grilling the beef patties. You can make the beet salad before hand and wait to combine the ingredients until you're ready to serve the salad.
