Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven (or thick bottomed pot or large skillet with a deep lip) over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ground beef and use a spatula or a wooden spoon to break the meat into small chunks. Brown the meat for a couple of minutes before stirring in the chopped sweet potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes have begun to soften.
- Add the spinach to the pot and cover it with the lid. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
- Transfer the sweet potato and ground beef mixture to a large casserole dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and has reached your desired level of golden brown deliciousness.
- Serve in big bowls, and enjoy! You can sprinkle chopped green onions over this delicious recipe if you'd like.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- *I use raw cheddar cheese. You can also use mozzarella cheese, jack cheese, or cheddar cheese. Any kind of melting cheese works! To lower the calories and fat content, use 1 cup of cheese.
