Combining the classic comfort of sloppy joes with the natural sweetness of baked sweet potatoes, these Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make! They are bound to become a dinner time favorite!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a fork poke holes in the sweet potatoes to allow steam to escape.
Drizzle with olive oil then bake for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Meanwhile heat olive oil over medium high heat.Add in onions and bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes to soften and develop some color.
Add in ground beef and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the ground beef is no longer pink.Stir in garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Next add in the ketchup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, light brown sugar, dried mustard, salt and pepper.Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until everything is heated up and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Cut the cooked sweet potatoes in half. I like to add a tablespoon of butter to each potato and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.Then I stuff them with the sloppy Joe mixture. Top with green onions for garnish and serve!
