What You'll Need
Ingredients
1½ lbs ground beef (85/15)
2 sweet potatoes, diced small
1 red onion, diced
2 cups baby spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.
Push the sweet potatoes to the side and add the ground beef. Break it apart and brown, about 6–7 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook 3–4 more minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the beef is fully cooked.
Stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted, 1–2 minutes. Portion into containers and refrigerate up to 4 days.
Serve It With
A fried egg on top for breakfast-for-dinner energy
Hot sauce or salsa for kick
Sliced avocado for extra volume
