Cooking steps

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/3-inch sticks for fries. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Spread evenly on a baking tray.
2

Bake sweet potato fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until fries are crisp and golden at the edges.
3

Meanwhile, form ground beef into four equal patties. Season both sides with 1 tsp kosher salt and black pepper. Preheat a skillet or grill to high heat.
4

Sear patties for 2-3 minutes per side. In the final minute, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese, lowering the heat to medium to allow the cheese to melt without burning the meat.
5

Lightly toast brioche buns in a dry skillet or toaster. Assemble each burger with two patties, lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 tbsp ketchup per burger. Plate with hot sweet potato fries.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The ground beef is the essential foundation for the double cheeseburger, providing not only rich flavor and juiciness but also a significant boost in protein and calories to support post-workout recovery. Cheddar cheese also plays a big role in texture and taste.

Q. How do I prevent the sweet potato fries from turning soggy?

For crisp sweet potato fries, cut them evenly and avoid overcrowding the baking tray. Toss with olive oil and spread in a single layer. Bake at a high temperature, flipping once halfway through, to encourage even browning and crispness.

Q. What cooking technique helps keep the burger patties juicy?

Searing the patties on high heat develops a flavorful crust while locking in juices. Reducing heat as you melt the cheese prevents drying out the beef and ensures the burgers stay moist.

Q. How many calories and how much protein are in each serving?

Each serving delivers about 900 kcal, with 45g of protein, 57g of carbohydrate, and 53g of fat. The macronutrient ratio is roughly 25% carbs, 20% protein, and 53% fat, making it a high-calorie, high-protein meal ideal for post-workout recovery.
