Why You’ll Love Ground Beef Sweet Potato Hash

I try to start my day with a high protein and fiber breakfast to prevent over snacking later in the day. This Ground Beef Sweet Potato Hash is loaded with protein and fiber to keep you full and satisfied. It’s high in protein from the ground beef, eggs, and black beans. Sweet potatoes, black beans, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes make it high in fiber.

Everything is made in one skillet to make life easier. Cook the onions, ground beef, and eggs first. Then remove to cook the sweet potatoes, beans, and vegetables. Finally, mix it all together.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil: healthy oil with polyphenols to coat skillet.
  • Yellow onion: for flavor and has antioxidants.
  • Ground beef: the main protein source. I use 96/4 lean ground beef.
  • Chili powder and cumin: the spices for flavor.
  • Eggs: for extra protein, fat, and flavor.
  • Sweet potatoes: the main carb source for energy, plus fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C.
  • Bell pepper: rich in vitamin C and provides vitamin B6 and folate.
  • Black beans: high in fiber and adds more protein.
  • Diced tomatoes: full of nutrients, including potassium, folate, vitamins C and K, and the antioxidant, lycopene.
