Whole30 Stuffed Sweet Potato with Bacon, Sausage & Veggies
Ingredients
Paleo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
- 5 sweet potatoes
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage or any ground sausage that’s Whole30 approved!
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 cups spinach
- optional: salt & pepper if needed, depending on whether your sausage is seasoned or not
Instructions
To prepare roasted sweet potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Poke holes around the outside of sweet potatoes with a fork. Wrap each potato individually in foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 45 minutes - 1 hour or longer, until fork tender.
- Store potatoes separately from filling for meal prep.
To prepare filling:
- Add chopped bacon to a pan and cook through.
- Once cooked, scoop bacon out of pan and transfer to a bowl. Leave some fat in the pan to cook the rest of filling.
- Add onions to pan and saute for 3-5 minutes. Once tender, add chopped bell pepper and allow to soften slightly.
- Add ground breakfast sausage to pan and cook through. Season with garlic powder and onion powder. (Season to taste with salt and pepper, if your ground sausage isn’t already seasoned.)
- Add spinach to pan and allow to wilt down. Once wilted, add cooked bacon back in and stir to integrate.
- Store filling separately from potatoes for meal prep.
- When ready to eat, slice roasted sweet potato and fill with sausage, bacon & veggie mixture. Reheat in the microwave or oven and enjoy!
