Preparation

In large bowl, whisk together egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, pepper, salt and Worcestershire. Mix in beef. Form into 6 patties, pressing to about ½-inch thick. Insert piece of cheese in center of patty and cover with the ground meat, pressing to flatten.

If grilling, heat grill to medium-high heat. Place burgers on well-oiled grill rack. Grill burgers 7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. You can also use a heavy bottom skillet stovetop drizzled with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes, and all ingredients in large bowl. Spread in an even layer on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in oven 15-20 minutes or until slightly soft inside and lightly crisp outside.

To serve, place burgers on toasted buns and garnish with tomato, lettuce, red onion, and serve with potao chips. Serves 4 - 6.
