Description
My go-to high-protein dinner that hits all the right notes savory, creamy, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying. This Ground Beef Protein Bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, cottage cheese, and hot honey is meal prep magic.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 93/7 lean ground beef
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- ½ cup cottage cheese (2%) per bowl
- ½ avocado per bowl
- 1 tsp hot honey drizzle
- Olive oil, salt, pepper (for roasting)
- Optional toppings: pickled onions, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional cinnamon. Roast on a baking sheet for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- While potatoes roast, brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain fat, stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water, and simmer 2 minutes.
- Build your bowl: Start with roasted sweet potatoes, add taco-seasoned beef, top with cottage cheese, avocado slices, and drizzle with hot honey.
- Add any optional toppings you like for extra crunch or flavor.
Notes
Prep the beef and sweet potatoes in advance for easy weekday lunches. Don’t add avocado or cottage cheese until ready to eat to keep things fresh.
