Homemade burgers and Fries

Well dinner last night went effortlessly, almost. :)

We had homemade hamburgers, sweet potato fries, and Caesar salad. I was surprised it turned out so great. I myself am not a big burger fan. I don't know what it is. Maybe its the fact that the majority of burger recipes include large amounts of chopped onions. Blugh. I hate biting into something and getting a chunk of onion. The recipe I concocted up however, had no onions. I did grill some for the hubby to put on top though.

Homemade Burgers
1 lb. ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup bread crumbs- I prefer the Italian style as it already has some spices in it. That way I am not too concerned with adding spices.
1/3 cup of your favourite BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. of pepper

Throw it all in a bowl, mix it good, and make patties. I used a 1/4 c. measuring spoon to help create even burger patties. I did a heaping 1/4c though, not leveled. This made about 6 burgers for me.
I suppose at some point we'll need to purchase a grill. Right now we've been using a panini grill, which works awesome by the way! Definitely a great alternative. I've never truly barbecued before, so I haven't a clue how to do it.

Sweet potato fries went great too!! I just peeled and sliced up some sweet potatoes into wedges coated a pan with cooking spray  throw the potatoes on there with some cinnamon and bake. I think I did 450 for 20 minutes or so. Till they were tender. Of course smaller wedges will cook faster..
Ellee really enjoyed some of her burger and of course loved the fries!

This is definitely a recipe I'll have to try again. Maybe next time I'll try making my own Italian bread crumbs! Matt came home from his regular Tuesday night basketball and I made him another burger :)
