Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 sweet potatoes
- 1 lb ground beef (90% + high quality grass-fed)
- 1 large pinch each, salt + pepper
- 2 shallots, small diced
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- Homemade Ketchup (recipe below)
- Garnish with chopped scallions
Homemade Ketchup
- 3/4 cup tomato puree
- 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt + pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Mix everything together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 425F. Add your sweet potatoes to a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes or until they are tender and fully cooked through. Remove from oven and let rest.
- Heat a medium sized sauce pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic. Continue to cook until all the meat is browned. Turn the heat off. Remove a few spoonful’s of fat. Add in the ketchup – stirring around to combine all the ingredients together.
- Cut the sweet potatoes in half. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture over the top and in the center of the potato.
- Garnish with scallions and enjoy hot!
Notes
Start roasting the sweet potatoes 30-35 minutes before you start to make the sloppy joe filling. This part takes less than 10 minutes to cook and put together. Best if served, in hot sweet potatoes.
Double the ketchup recipe – so you have extra to drizzle over the top. Always a good idea.
