Instructions

Clean and bake the sweet potatoes at 400°F for 60-75 minutes until softened.
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.
Carefully split the sweet potatoes down the middle lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Divide the beef mixture evenly between the two potatoes.
Top each stuffed potato with mozzarella cheese and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Ensure to check the doneness of sweet potatoes by inserting a fork; they should be tender throughout.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley.
