Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 can black beans 15.25 ounces

Instructions

  • Chop the bell pepper, onion and peel and chop the sweet potato into small chunks.

    1 medium sweet potato, ½ cup beef broth, ¼ cup tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pour in the drained and rinsed beans. Give it a good stir, cover again, and cook for another 2 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
    1 can black beans

Notes

If using ground turkey or chicken, add a little oil or coat the skillet with cooking spray before cooking. If using ground beef with a higher fat content, drain the excess grease after browning.
Cut the sweet potato into small, evenly sized pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly.
One medium sweet potato yields about 1½ cups diced.
