Method
Special Sauce
In a bowl, combine the avocado mayo, ketchup, 1.5 tbsp yellow mustard, pickle juice, and the finely diced pickles. Season with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cane sugar to taste. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Caramelized Onions
Dice the white onion into medium pieces. In a large skillet over medium‑low heat, melt the butter, then add the onions, a sprinkle of cane sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir every few minutes and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the onions are deep golden and caramelized.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (425°F). Toss the diced sweet potato cubes with avocado oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is crisp and the interior is tender.
Beef
Heat a large, greased skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. When the beef begins to brown, stir in 3 tbsp yellow mustard and your chosen beef seasoning. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked through. If desired, place slices of American cheese on top of the hot beef and let melt briefly.
Assemble
On each plate, arrange a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes. Top with the caramelized onions, then add the seasoned beef (with melted cheese if used). Drizzle the prepared special sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy.

- Turn the sweet potato cubes over midway through roasting.
- Stir onions occasionally
