Southwest Sweet Potato Hash
Healthy and Delicious Sweet Potato Southwest Hash with Ground Beef
Welcome to your sweet potato and beef sweet dream. I was sent a similar recipe by a friend who tempted me to try it. Unfortunately, I forgot to bookmark the recipe so I kind of winged it. It did turn out amazing so I wanted to share. If you want a sweet and sassy southwest meal that’s bursting with superfoods, this is it.
I chose to serve this with a southwest salad although you can serve with any green veggie to even out the meal. One variation I think I will try next time is adding broccoli into the mix as well for extra greens.
Ingredients:
-
2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
-
1 large yellow pepper
-
1 large red pepper
-
1/2 large white onion
-
1 lb of grass-fed ground beef
-
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
-
2 tbsp organic taco seasoning
-
1/3 cup grass-fed organic shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup water
-
2 tbsp cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
-
In a large sauce pan or skillet place the cubed sweet potatoes with the water over med high heat and cover with a lid and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork tender (about 5-8 minutes.)
-
In a separate pan cook ground beef and cilantro down with 1 tbsp of taco seasoning until cooked all the way through.
-
When potatoes are fork tender, add in peppers, onion, remaining taco seasoning and drizzle over 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and saute veggies until tender uncovered.
-
When the beef is cooked, add to main sweet potato pan and then mix. Top with mozzarella cheese and let it melt.
-
Serve and enjoy!
