Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into half-inch cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Once the beef is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon to cook the vegetables.
Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 7-10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes start to soften.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
