Healthy Beef & Veggie Burgers

Tonight was a burger kind of night! We used our lean ground beef and sautéed veggies to make a scrumptious and healthy dinner!

We used multigrain buns (I ate mine open faced with one side) and made sweet potato fries. We sliced up sweet potatoes into fry size bites, sprayed a pan with olive oil, layed them in the pan, sprayed the tops with olive oil, and sprinkled pink salt and pepper on them. Baked at 400° for about 45 minutes to an hour until soft.
