Ingredients
Scale
Let’s keep it straightforward and real, just like my mom used to do with her magical pantry creations. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if that’s what you have on hand. For a vegetarian twist, swap the beef for black beans.
Instructions
Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sweet potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- While the potatoes are cooking, mix the honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Pour the hot honey mixture over everything, stirring to coat evenly. Let it all cook together for another 5-7 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors meld.
- Serve over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy the deliciousness!
