Cook the Fries
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the sweet potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then into 1cm fries (peeling optional).
  • Pop onto a large (lined) baking tray. Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer. You want them well spaced out to achieve a crispy finish!
  • Roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Form the Burgers
2
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mince, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water and ¼ tsp salt (double both for 4p). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
  • Season with pepper and mix together by hand.

  • Carefully turn every 3-4 mins, adjusting the heat if needed. IMPORTANT: Burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 
  • While the burgers cook, halve and peel the onion. Thinly slice half..
Make the Sweet Chilli Bacon

  • Add a splash of water and the sweet chilli sauce. Cook for 2-3 mins. Once cooked, remove from the pot and cover to keep warm. Give the pot a quick wipe.
  • Trim the salad leaves, reserving one leaf per burger. Halve the rest lengthways and thinly slice widthways.
  • Chop the tomatoes into 2cm pieces.
Simmer the Cheese Sauce
5
  • Return the pot to medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
  • Once melted, add 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p).
  • Stir in 100ml water (double for 4p) a little at a time. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins.
