To Make The Sweet Potato Buns
pre heat oven to 400 degrees
Add sliced sweet potatoes on parchment paper lined baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Roast for about 35 min or until soft and remove from oven
To Make the Special Sauce
Mix both BBQ sauce and ketchup and set aside
To Make the Whiskey Mushroom and Caramelized Onions
In a cast iron skillet set to medium, add a drizzle of olive oil, the ghee, and the onions
Trying not to mix it very much, allow them to cook and caramelize for about 15 min until golden and soft. mixing occasionally
Remove onions once cooked, add a bit more olive oil and sautee the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil.
Allow mushrooms to cook through (about 10 min), then add the onions back in.
Add the whiskey and cook both the mushrooms and onions until liquid evaporates.
Remove and set aside
To Make the Burgers
Heat up cast iron skillet
In a large bowl, add the beef, the grated zucchini or carrot, 1 tbsp of ketchup, 1 tbs bbq sauce, and all the seasonings. Basically add all ingredients and mix well with your hands.
Form equal patties and flatten with your hands.
Add a little ghee or olive oil on the pan and add the burgers
As soon as you add the burgers, poke a hole in the center of the burger with your finger. This will help it not rise to high like a mountain.
Then add a tiny bit of salt on top of the burger. This will give it some amazing flavor.
cook for 4 min per side or to your liking. I like mine medium well.
Then assemble burger. Add sweet potato toast, some BBQ sauce, arugula, burger, the mushroom and onion mix, and more sauce, and top with the other "bun"
Enjoy
