How to make these cheeseburger sliders

- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, make the burgers. Divide the ground beef into eight equal portions and flatten them into patties. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 5-7 minutes, until well browned on the bottom, then flip and top with cheese. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on the second side, or until the burgers reach your desired doneness. Transfer the burgers to a plate and rest for five minutes.
