We're bringing you our best in this meal, with the funkiest and most fabulous of cheeses, blue, mixed with the best thing life has to give us, bacon, mixed with the thing that makes all food taste good, butter, all piled atop a luscious steak. Is this the best? It's got to be close to it. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice remaining sweet potato.
