GROUND BEEF, SWEET POTATO AND ZUCCHINI

This is a delicious healthy meal that you can make for a weekly meal prep. I prepared Cauliflower Rice (Recipe Here) as a side. My goal was to have this portioned out for myself for the week; however, my family finished it off before I could get my Tupperware out!

Ground Beef, Sweet Potato and Zucchini - Clean Eating

Serves 4

Recipe adapted from Primaverakitchen.com

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb extra-lean ground beef or ground turkey
• ½ cup onions
• ½ cup red bell pepper
• 2 ½ cup sweet potato, diced (cubed small)
• ¼ cup bone broth or water
• 1 medium zucchini, quartered
• 1 tsp minced garlic 
• 1/3 cup tomato sauce
• ½ teaspoon of oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat a frying pan to medium-high and add ground beef. Use a wood spoon to break up the beef while it cooks. Stir occasionally and cook for about 7 minutes. Once browned place in a colander and run water over beef until grease is drained then set aside.

Heat a little olive oil to pan and add onions, red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are soft. 

Add sweet potato and bone broth and cook for 5-6 minutes. Put a lid on the pan. The steam will help to cook faster the sweet potato. Stir occasionally.

Add the zucchini and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper and oregano.

Add the ground beef to skillet again and mix everything together.

Add the tomato sauce. Stir and serve. Goes well with cauliflower rice.

Summer is almost here...
