INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 Whole Wheat Bun
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 Medium Sweet Potato
1 tsp Olive Oil
Paprika and Chili Powder (to taste)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the sweet potato wedges.
Cut the medium sweet potato into crisp wedges. Toss them in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
Spread the seasoned wedges on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway for even crisping.
While the wedges bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it apart as it cooks.
When the beef begins to brown, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook until the onion softens.
Stir in the tomato sauce along with a pinch of chili powder and paprika. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the whole wheat bun lightly in a separate pan or under a broiler if desired.
Assemble the sloppy joe by spooning the beef mixture onto the bottom half of the bun and topping it with the other half.
Serve the hearty sloppy joe alongside the crispy sweet potato wedges and enjoy your balanced meal.
