Cottage Cheese Sweet Potato & Honey Beef Bowls
I hope I didn’t lose you with the title of this recipe, but hot damn! Hear me out! The combination of lightly spiced ground beef, roasted sweet potatoes and cottage cheese all drizzled with a touch of honey is a match made in heaven. The combination shouldn’t work, it sounds so weird, but it does, it really does! Trust me on this one. My kids gobbled this up. And bonus—this was on the table in 25 minutes flat! We added some sauerkraut and avocado for extra nutrients and everything tasted so good together. My husband and I were equally as happy to discover such a simple, whole family approved meal.
I hope you and your family enjoy this as much as we do. It will be your savior on a busy weeknight. Trust me!
