Ingredients

  • 450 g sweet potatoes
  • 300 g lean beef mince
  • 160 g tinned sweetcorn
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 medium onion
  • 100 g crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika

Method, step by step

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork, and roast them whole for 20-25 minutes until tender when pierced (or 8-10 minutes in the microwave to speed things up).
  2. Meanwhile, dice the onion and red pepper small and sauté them with the olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Turn up the heat, add the lean beef mince, and brown it, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Add the sweet paprika, crushed tomatoes, and drained sweetcorn. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4 more minutes over medium heat.
  5. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, fluff the flesh slightly with a fork, and spoon the beef and sweetcorn filling on top. Serve hot.
