Notes
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking. Experiment with different spices for the ground beef to suit your taste. For added crunch, consider adding roasted nuts or seeds. Ground beef can also be replaced with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
