A comforting and nutritious skillet dish featuring lean ground beef and sweet potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
  • 2 medium (approx. 500g) sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 (approx. 150g / 1 cup) onion, diced
  • 1 (approx. 150g / 1 cup) bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Sauté until it’s fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
  4. Uncover the skillet and increase the heat back to medium-high for another 2 minutes to reduce any remaining liquid.
  5. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding beef broth to keep it moist.
