Stuffed sweet potatoes - an idea for minced beef


I often prepare a tomato sauce with minced beef at home - it's perfect for lasagne, spaghetti and other pasta. This time I used it as a stuffing for sweet potatoes. Everybody loved them!!!

  • small onion
  • clove of garlic
  • salt, pepper, sweet pepper, hot pepper, basil
  • 200g tomatoes from the can
  • 4 small sweet potatoes
  • a teaspoon of butter


Method:

Cook the sweet potatoes - it takes about an hour (depending on the size). Leave to cool and then cut in half. Take the middle of potatoes out. Mash with butter. Add salt and pepper, put into the piping bag.
On a teaspoon of oil or olive oil, fry the finely chopped onion and then the garlic. Pour the tomatoes and add the minced beef. Cook until the sauce is reduced. Seasoning to taste. Stuffed the potatoes with this sauce. Squeeze the sweet pure on top. Bake in the oven (about 15 minutes)
