Sweet Potato Cheeseburger Skillet

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in 1/2 cup water, cover with a lid, and cook until the sweet potatoes start to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the diced onion. Sauté for a couple of minutes until slightly softened.

3. 3

   Add the ground beef, season lightly with salt and pepper, and break it apart as it cooks. Cook until the beef is mostly browned.

4. 4

   Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Return the sweet potatoes to the pan. Season again with salt and pepper to taste and cook everything together for a few minutes until heated through and fully cooked.

6. 6

   Sprinkle in the grated cheddar cheese and stir gently until melted into the mixture.
