Brown the beef. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to brown. Then break it into small pieces and cook until no pink remains. Sprinkle with the sea salt and coconut sugar, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.
1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 lb ground beef, 1 Tbsp coconut sugar, ¼ tsp sea salt
Slow cook. Transfer the beef to a crockpot. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, dijon, ketchup, beef broth, chili powder and black pepper, and stir. Cook on LOW for 4 – 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 – 3 hours. For a thicker filling, remove the lid for the last 20 minutes.
1 small onion, 1 bell pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 14.5 oz tomato sauce, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp ketchup, ½ cup beef broth, ½ tsp chili powder, ¼ tsp black pepper
Roast the sweet potatoes. About 45 minutes before serving, preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray both sides of the sweet potato halves with avocado oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30 – 40 minutes, until the cut side starts to caramelize. Let them rest for a few minutes.
3 sweet potatoes, Avocado oil spray, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper
Assemble. Place a sweet potato half cut side up on a plate and use a fork to make a small well in the center. Spoon the sloppy joe filling on top and serve.
