Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1” pieces
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 ½ cups coleslaw prepared or store-bought
- ¼ cup pickles
- ¼ cup pickled red onion
- ½ medium white onion chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp mustard
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp salt divided
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then toss the sweet potato pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 30 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped white onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the ground beef and cook for 7–10 minutes, until browned, then drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes and coleslaw between two bowls. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture on top. Add pickles, pickled red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve and enjoy!
