The Bowl
This high-protein dinner balances savory spiced ground beef, sweet roasted sweet potatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and a generous drizzle of hot honey.
📋 Ingredients
- • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
- • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- • 1½ Tbsp olive oil
- • 1½ Tbsp taco seasoning
- • 1½ cups small-curd cottage cheese
- • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
- • 3 Tbsp hot honey (see how to make hot honey sauce)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp smoked paprika. Roast 18–20 minutes, turning once, until tender and browned.
- Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes, breaking it up. Pour off excess fat, stir in the taco seasoning and 2 Tbsp water, and simmer 1 minute.
- Divide the sweet potatoes and beef between 3 bowls. Add the cottage cheese and avocado, then drizzle with warm hot honey.
