  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and slightly golden brown. Remove
  • from oven and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, season the ground beef with chilli powder, oregano, Cajun spice, salt and pepper and shape into patties that will be the right size to fit in between two sweet potato buns.Refrigerate the patties for 20 minutes, which will help keep their shape and size as they're cooking.
  • Place the bacon on to a baking tray and cook until crispy
  • Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook the burgers in batches to your liking, about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare or 10 minutes for well done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
