INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Black Beans (canned, drained)
1 Egg
1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Salt & Spices to taste
1/2 medium Sweet Potato
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and place a baking sheet for the chips.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, drained black beans, egg, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt along with a blend of smoked paprika and black pepper. Mix gently until uniformly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring even distribution.
Peel and slice the sweet potato into thin rounds. Toss the slices with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Place both the beef loaf and the sweet potato chips in the oven. Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Bake the chips for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven. Let the beef loaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with a side of crispy sweet potato chips and enjoy your flavorful, nutrient-balanced meal.
