Description
A simple recipe for Sloppy Joe mixture served over baked sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender.
- While potatoes bake, brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

- Slice the baked sweet potatoes open lengthwise. Fluff the inside slightly with a fork.
- Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture over the sweet potatoes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lower-fat option, use lean ground turkey instead of ground beef.
- You can prepare the Sloppy Joe mixture ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
