  • Season the beef patties with pepper and garlic powder before cooking for a savory flavor.
  • Cook the beef over medium heat to your desired level of doneness.
  • Prepare the beef while the sweet potatoes are roasting to keep the overall cooking process efficient.
  • Add guacamole, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard according to your preferred topping balance.
