Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Sloppy Jane Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 cup finely diced yellow onion (from about 1/2 large onion)
  • 1 cup finely diced green bell pepper (from about 1 bell pepper)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉
  • Scrub and pat dry the sweet potatoes and set on a baking sheet. Using a fork, pierce each potato about 6 times all over. Drizzle the potatoes with oil and, using your hands, rub the oil into the potatoes evenly. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.

Make the Sloppy Jane Mixture:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with the edge of a spatula until cooked through and no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, tomato paste, mustard, and coconut aminos and stir until well combined. Remove from heat, cover, and keep warm until the potatoes are ready.
  • When the potatoes are done, remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle. Carve a slit at the top of each potato and using a fork, fluff the inside of the potato. Top with the sloppy jane mix, serve, and enjoy!
