Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Dice the sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper to a similar size to ensure consistent cooking.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and edges are crisp.
  3. Stir in the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
  4. Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and the seasoning blend (garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne). Toss thoroughly to coat in the beef fat.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and cover with a lid for 5-7 minutes to steam-soften the potatoes.
  6. Uncover and sauté for another 5-8 minutes until the potatoes are tender and have developed a deep golden-brown crust.
