Description
A hearty and flavorful Sloppy Joe Bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes topped with a savory beef mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into ¼-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- ¼ cup yellow onion, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- ½–1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons paleo ketchup
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Optional: Extra Dijon mustard, sliced pickles, pickled red onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415°F. Place sweet potato slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat both sides. Sprinkle with salt. Roast on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes, until tender but still slightly firm.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ghee or oil and swirl to coat. Add garlic and sauté 10–20 seconds until fragrant. Add onions and bell pepper; cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Add ground beef and cook 5–10 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, ketchup, coconut aminos, salt & pepper, tomato paste, chili powder, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few minutes. If you prefer it saucier, add extra ketchup and tomato paste. Adjust salt and seasoning to taste.
- Add roasted sweet potato slices to a bowl. Spoon sloppy joe mixture alongside or on top. Finish with pickles, pickled onions, and extra Dijon. Serve warm and enjoy!
