Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 6-8 Medium sized Sweet Potato
- 24 Ounces Tomato Sauce
- 1 Pound Ground Beef Sub with ground turkey or chicken.
- 1 Sweet Onion, Chopped
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
Baking Sweet Potato
- Bake sweet potato at 400 degrees on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for about 50 minutes. (Or until fork tender.)
Making the Sauce
- Next, sauté chopped onions with a little olive oil until translucent.
- Then add in ground beef, salt, and red pepper flakes. Break apart with a wooden spoon while the meat cooks. When the meat is 90% cooked through, pour over the sauce.
- Cover the meat sauce and let simmer on low until the sweet potato are ready to stuff.
Putting it all together
- When the sweet potatoes are fork tender, remove them from the oven. Use a knife to slice down each sweet potato the long way. (Don't go all the way to the end or they will fall apart.) Scoop out *some* of the sweet potato and set aside.
- Next, stuff each sweet potato with a generous amount of the meat sauce. Bake the sweet potato again for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
