Ingredients

  • 1 lb 2 oz (500 g) sweet potato
  • 10.5 oz (300 g) lean ground beef
  • 8.5 oz (240 g) cooked kidney beans
  • 3/4 cup (200 g) crushed tomatoes

  • 2 1/4 tsp (11 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin

How to make it, step by step

  1. Prick the sweet potatoes, wrap them in foil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-22 minutes until tender (or 8-10 minutes in the microwave if you're in a hurry).
  2. Meanwhile, soften the chopped onion with the oil in a skillet for 3-4 minutes and add the lean ground beef; brown it, breaking it up.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, drained beans, cumin, paprika, and chili powder; simmer 6-8 minutes over medium heat with a little salt.
  4. Split the sweet potatoes in half, mash the flesh slightly, and spoon the beef and bean chili on top. Serve hot.
