- Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add olive oil and sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir and cook the potatoes until they are mostly tender but still a little firm, about 8-10 minutes (as they will continue to cook with the ground beef).
- To the same skillet with the potatoes, add the diced onion, ground beef, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook and crumble ground beef until no longer pink. Drain the grease, if needed. *Tip: while you can cook the potatoes and ground beef separately, cooking them together enhances the flavors (and leads to less cleanup!)
- Once the ground beef is cooked, add beef broth and stir well to combine. Taste the mixture and add more seasonings, if needed. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 6-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle shredded cheese over the ground beef and potatoes. Cover the pan and let sit for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is melty. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- To reheat: warm the sweet potato hash recipe in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth, or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
- Meal prep tip: store individual servings for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners during the week.
- Be sure to dice your sweet potatoes in even cubes, roughly ¼-inch thick, as the smaller the cubes, the faster and more uniform it cooks.
