Savory Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet with Maple-Mustard Glaze

Begin by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, season 1 pound of ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the seasoned ground beef to the other side.

Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through.

Once the beef is cooked, mix it with the sweet potatoes in the skillet.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

Pour the maple-mustard glaze over the beef and sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine.
