Hot Honey Beef Sweet Potato Boat 🌶️🍠
Sweet potato + saucy beef + creamy goat cheese. Then a little hot honey on top.
You’ll Need (serves 2):
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt + black pepper
• 2 tbsp water (to make it saucy)
• 2–3 oz goat cheese (crumbled or scooped)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2–3 tsp hot honey (or honey + pinch red pepper flakes)
• Optional: chopped cilantro or parsley
Optional:
• Extra red pepper flakes, or a squeeze of lime
How to Make it:
1. Bake sweet potatoes at 400°F for 45–55 minutes (until very soft).
2. Brown beef in a skillet with olive oil. Break it up small.
3. Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Add 2 tbsp water. Stir 1 minute so the beef looks glossy and a little saucy.
5. Split potatoes open. Fluff the inside with a fork.
6. Pile on the beef. Add goat cheese. Add avocado slices.
7. Drizzle hot honey. Add herbs if you want.
Tip:
Bake the sweet potatoes until a fork slides in with zero effort, then fluff the inside with a fork and add a tiny splash of butter or olive oil for extra creamy bites.
