Savory Ground Beef and Sweet Potato Hash with Maple Chipotle Drizzle

Begin by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into small 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. Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add 1 pound of ground beef to the other side.

Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Mix the sweet potatoes and ground beef together in the skillet.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

While the hash is cooking, prepare the maple chipotle drizzle by whisking together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.

Once the hash is ready, drizzle the maple chipotle sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, budget-friendly meal!
