INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
1/4 cup diced Carrot
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1 clove minced Garlic
1/4 cup Low-sodium Beef Broth
1 medium Sweet Potato
2 tbsp Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add in the diced onion, carrot, and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and low-sodium beef broth, allowing the mixture to simmer for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Meanwhile, peel (if preferred) and cube the sweet potato. Boil the cubes in lightly salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the sweet potato and mash thoroughly with the fat-free Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a small baking dish, spreading evenly. Top with the mashed sweet potato, smoothing it out to cover the filling completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top is slightly golden and the edges are bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
