- 1 Bell Pepper, chopped
Spices
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion, garlic, and bell peppers to have everything ready for cooking. This makes the cooking process smooth and efficient.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add Sweet Potatoes and Spices: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors, then cover the skillet and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Once everything is well-cooked and seasoned, serve the Ground Beef Sweet Potato Bowl hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
- Choose Quality Beef: Opt for grass-fed ground beef for better flavor and nutrition.
- Uniform Sweet Potato Pieces: Cut sweet potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow enough time for the sweet potatoes to soften for the best texture.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to play with the spices to match your flavor preferences.
- Leftovers are Gold: This dish tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep.
