Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese


Instructions

  1. Clean and bake the sweet potatoes at 400°F for 60-75 minutes until softened.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced red onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and ground beef, cooking until browned. Stir in the seasonings and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
