INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup Kidney Beans (cooked)
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
0.5 ounce Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash the sweet potato well and pat dry.
Pierce the sweet potato with a fork several times, rub lightly with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender and the skin is crispy.
While the potato bakes, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, and season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Once the beef is nearly cooked, stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and red bell pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Remove the baked sweet potato from the oven. Slice it open lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Spoon the hearty beef chili mixture generously over the sweet potato.
Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese on top, letting it melt slightly with the residual heat.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, balanced meal.
