Loaded Chili Sweet Potato
I received a recipe similar to this from Hello Fresh, a meal delivery service which I highly recommend! This recipe is yielded for four people, but I have it and make it for two.
Ingredients:
2 Long Green Pepper (I use Anaheim peppers)
4 Green Onion Sprigs (Typically one bunch at the grocery store)
4 Garlic Cloves
4 Sweet Potatoes
1 Pound Ground Beef
2 Tablespoon Taco Seasoning
1.5 ounce Tomato Paste
2 unit Beef Bouillon dissolved in 1 cup water
4 Tablespoon Sour Cream
2 teaspoon Cholula or Frank’s Wing Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
Instructions:
Wash and dry produce. Deseed the green pepper and slice it into 1/2-inch chunks. Mince the garlic and slice or cut the green onion separating the white onions from the green onions.
Poke sweet potatoes with fork and microwave for 6-10 minutes flipping them with tongs halfway in between. If it isn’t tender, microwave in 1-minute increments until done.
Heat drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and saute white scallions (green onions), garlic and pepper for 4-5 minutes or until soft. Stir continuously so it doesn’t burn. Add ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook until beef is brown all the way through, roughly 3-4 minutes.
Add tomato paste to meat and stir in (In the pictures below, I forgot tomato paste :( So just use your imagination). Then add beef bouillon + water mixture OR beef bouillon paste with 1/2 cup water. Simmer on low heat until thickened.
Slice open sweet potatoes, pat with butter and mash together with a fork.
Combine hot sauce and sour cream. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until the consistency can be “drizzled.”
Load each potato evenly with chili, cheese, and green scallions (green onions). Top with sour cream/hot sauce.
