  • 3 tbsp Cilantro
  • 3 Plum tomatoes

Directions

Step 1: Make the salsa

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients and season with salt.

Step 2: Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook over moderate heat for 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in the Jack cheese until melted, then stir in the pecorino; season with salt and pepper. Let cool until spreadable.

BBQ Havarti Burgers + Sweet Potato Curly Fries

 

Sweet potato curly fries are my jam! I recommend this one… and all the other ones, to be honest.

 

 

4. BBQ Havarti Burgers + Sweet Potato Curly Fries

Ingredients

Burgers:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces Havarti cheese, sliced
  • 4 to 6 brioche or sesame seed buns, depending on your size preference
  • spring greens for serving

Sweet Potato Fries:

  • 3 sweet potatoes, spiralized
  • vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Burgers:

Step 1 – Place the beef in a bowl and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Add the BBQ sauce and gently mix with your hands to incorporate, forming 4 to 6 patties, whichever size you wish and whatever size fits your bun.
Heat a large skillet (or your grill, your preference) over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Cook the patties until browned on both sides and your desired doneness is reached.
Good Ranchers founders do about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-well, but it will depend on how thick your burgers are.
A minute or two before they are done, cover the tops with the sliced Havarti and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt.

Step 2 – To serve the burgers, add a dollop of BBQ sauce on the bottom of the bun, then cover with spring greens.
Add the patty on top, more BBQ sauce, and a heaping pile of sweet potato fries!

 

Sweet Potato Fries:

Step 1 – Spiralize the sweet potatoes and place the spirals in a large bowl.
Cover with water completely and let soak for 45 minutes.
Once the soaking is finished,  place the potato spirals on a large towel, covered with another towel, and pat firmly to remove as much water as you can.

Step 2 – Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat.
Fit the pot with a candy thermometer.
You want the oil to be around 350 degrees F.
Line two baking sheets with paper towels.
Stir together the sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and pepper.

Step 3 – Working in batches, add some of the potato spirals to the oil (don’t overcrowd!) and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until they very so slightly seem to be crisping or changing texture.
Remove the spirals with a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs and place them on the paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Repeat with remaining spirals.
Once those are all finished, you do the second fry.
Work in batches again – this time, the spirals will only need 1 to 2 minutes in the oil – they will turn golden, you will see.
Remove and place on a paper towel again.
While still hot, cover the spirals in the seasoning mixture.

About Good Ranchers

The problem that needed a better way of solving was getting quality meat for your family at an affordable price. Over 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is imported from overseas. Someone needed to connect American farms & ranches to American families, and it was at that moment Good Ranchers was born.
They formed their first box – The Ranchers Classic – and began selling it at local pop-up shops and farmer’s markets around the country. Good Ranchers grew to operate pop-up shops around the country for 3 years, delivering American meat to cities fresh and personal.
Ben & Corley, the founders, decided to pivot Good Ranchers to an e-commerce model in the fourth year. Greater convenience, greater reach, greater impact.
Ben started the company to make a difference as well. Not only do they help support American farms & ranches, but they also donate 10 meals to food banks for every box ordered. Through the first 4 years of Good Ranchers, over 1,000,000 meals have been donated – and according to Ben, it’s only the beginning.
