Notes

If you use prepared hamburgers- it's important to note that not all hamburgers are created equal. Be sure to read labels for list of ingredients. Stick as close to 100% beef as possible without extra fillers and additives. 
If you are serving more than 2 people- make 1 sweet potato per person and 1 hamburger per person. Use 1 cup of romaine and half a tomato per person. The burger sauce is enough for 4 people to share.
