Last week I have a leftover baked sweet potato in my fridge. I love sweet potatoes and can just eat them plain, but I wanted to do something different, but quick. So I came up with this stuffed sweet potato, and my boyfriend and I loved it! It is pretty darn easy as well, baking the sweet potato would take the longest time, if you don’t already have one pre-baked like I did.
- 4 Large Sweet Potatoes
- 8 oz Grass Fed Ground Beef
- 4 Slices of Bacon
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
-
First, bake your sweet potatoes. Wash your sweet potatoes, poke holes in them with a fork, and bake in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour, or until they are soft.
Alternatively, you could microwave them if you'd like to save time.
-
Cook your bacon slices in a skillet until they are done, and set bacon aside. Pour out the bacon grease and save to use for salad.
-
Add the ground beef, balsamic vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper into the skillet and cook together until the beef is done.
-
Scoop out the insides of the sweet potatoes, leaving just a little on the skin, and place in a large bowl and mash. Crumble 2 slices of your bacon and add it to the bowl, along with the ground beef, and mix together.
-
Scoop your mixture back into the sweet potato shells. Crumble the remaining 2 slices of bacon and sprinkle on top.
Hope you enjoy, thanks for reading!
