Sunday meal prep with our CAND President!! 🥔

Check out these BBQ Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Sautéed Veggies! They’re made with whole foods and packed with protein and fiber.

Ingredients:

* 4 medium sweet potatoes
* 1 lb lean ground beef
* 1 bell pepper, diced
* ½ onion, diced
* ½ lb shish*to peppers (or leave them out and use 2 additional bell peppers)
* 1 Tbsp olive oil
* BBQ sauce
* Sliced green onion for garnish, optional
* Shredded mozzarella, optional

For the beef:

* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp onion powder
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp chili powder
* 1 tsp paprika
* Splash of Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

Bake the sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Coat both sides with olive oil and salt, then place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.

Cook the beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Season the lean ground beef with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Cook until just done, then remove from the skillet. Add a drizzle of BBQ sauce and mix.

Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shish*to peppers, diced bell pepper, and diced onion. Sauté for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt.

Assemble: Top the baked sweet potatoes with the BBQ beef and sautéed veggies. Drizzle with BBQ sauce and garnish with sliced green onion.
