Instructions
Putting it all together. That’s what this meal is about!
You probably have your own favorite beef burger recipe -- use that and cook the patties to your liking. Once they’re done - you’re ready for “Wild n’ Naked Beef”.You’ll also need this recipe: Slaw Salad
Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat oven to bake at 350°F and lightly grease 3 large baking sheets. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
First slice the sweet potatoes into ¼ inch medallions (slice across vs long-wise), then slice these into fries!
In a microwavable bowl, melt the coconut oil. Using your clean hands, briefly roll the fries in the oil and spread out on the baking sheets. (you don’t want drippy fries or overcrowded soggy fries).
Sprinkle a dusting of curry powder over the fries and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check them after about 10 and rotate the baking sheets (top one goes down etc).
Flipping: I don’t flip mine for hassle reasons. Feel free to flip them when you check them. I typically cook 2 trays at one time, then the third one separately.
Fancy Alternative to Fries- still a B grade meal: Instead of making sweet potato fries - you could make Crispy Spirally Sweet Potatoes and... Layer the burger, spirals, and slaw to your liking! I prefer slaw as the base, followed by sweet potato spirals and topped with the burger and some cheese. Josh prefers his slaw on the side.This is a fancy, yummy, nourishing meal that comes out at a budget-friendly B grade.
Notes
WHOLE RECIPE:Total Calories - 5,072. Total Cost - $22.70 . Grade - B . *Monthly Cost - $537Programming Notes:
For an “A grade” or vegetarian meal, substitute in my Black Bean Burger recipe for the beef.
If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, then for sure omit the beef and choose my delicious Black Bean Burgers instead. This is also a more "Mediterranean" approach.
