How to Make Sweet Potato Ground Beef Bowl (Viral Recipe!)
You’re probably sitting there wondering, “How can I whip this bowl of goodness up?” Don’t worry, it’s as easy as pie (or maybe easier!). Here’s a breakdown of what you need to do to get your sweet potato game on.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz ground beef
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and finely diced
- Seasonings of choice like onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper, and paprika
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 avocado, pitted and diced
- 1/2 of a yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- Hot honey (2 tbsp honey with ~1 tsp red pepper flakes)
Directions:
Prep your sweet potatoes: Wash, peel, and finely dice those babies. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tbsp avocado oil and seasonings like 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Air fry or bake them at 400°F for 20 minutes until fork-tender.
Cook the beef: While the potatoes are doing their thing, throw your ground beef in a large pan. Season with 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook over medium heat until it’s nice and brown (about 12-14 minutes).
Sauté the onions: Slice your onion thinly using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife (careful, y’all!). In a small pan, add 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 tbsp honey. Cook over medium heat until the onions are tender, and all that liquid goes away.
Dice your avocado: Cut that avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice it like a seasoned pro. You got this!
Assemble your bowl: Grab two dinner bowls and layer them like a pro chef. Each bowl should have about 1/2 cup sweet potato, 1/2 cup ground beef, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, half of your avocado, and half of your sautéed onions. Drizzle it all with some honey and sprinkle on those red pepper flakes (or hot honey for a bit of zing!). Enjoy!
