    Ingredients

    Baked Sweet Potatoes

    • 3 large sweet potatoes
    • olive oil for drizzling
    • butter, for serving
    • salt and pepper

    Sloppy Joes

    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 large onion, diced
    • 1 large bell pepper, diced
    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup ketchup
    • 8 ounces tomato sauce
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
    • 2 tsp dried mustard
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper

    For Serving

    • green onions, for garnish

    Instructions

    • 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!
