Savory Beef and Sweet Potato Hash with Maple-Balsamic Glaze

Begin by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop 1 small onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, push them to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and garlic to the other side.

Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Next, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Stir everything together in the skillet.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Pour this glaze over the beef and sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve warm, and enjoy your comforting beef and sweet potato hash!
