Blue Cheese Burger and Sweet Potato Fries

A housemate suggested that I make homemade burgers with blue cheese. I thought what a wonderful idea. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of blue cheese, but I've had it a few times and when it's mild, it's quite delicious.

To make the burger: mix ground beef, chopped onions, egg, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. I don't measure any of this and the measurements will vary depending on how much beef you're using. Form a 'smaller' patty than what you want and  put a 'crater' in it. Fill with cheese. Make a small patty and put on top, moulding it closed. I cooked mine on the George Foreman, probably for about 15 minutes. The blue cheese ended up sort of melting through the burger instead of all being in the middle. I liked this because it made the blue cheese more subtle and sort of all out.

I topped it with fried onions, mushrooms, kale, bacon and bbq sauce. YUM.

For the sweet potato fries: pre-heat the oven at 450. Wash potato, cut into desired size. I cut mine in half first and then worked off that for desired pieces. Mix with olive oil (not too much, you don't want them to be soggy), salt, pepper, thyme and garlic. Bake for 15 minutes and then turn over. Bake for another 10 minutes.
