Make sweet potato and ground beef taco filling in advance. Stock cottage cheese and avocado to easily build bowls. Hot Honey Ground Beef Bowls serve four and include roasted sweet potato and cottage cheese with a sweet and spicy hot honey topping. Hot Honey Ground Beef Bowls are an easy lunch or dinner option.

The recipe involves roasting cubed sweet potatoes in avocado oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon to give them a sweeter taste and caramelized exterior. Other recipe additions to enhance the meat topping include lean ground beef cooked with taco seasoning and tomato paste. Other topping ingredients include cottage cheese, hot honey, and avocado. Omitting toppings when preparing meals in advance can save preparation time when ready to serve.

At the halfway point, turn the sweet potatoes to brown both sides. Season and cook the beef on medium-high heat with taco seasoning and tomato paste until fully cooked and seasoned. The final dish will include browned sweet potatoes and fully cooked, seasoned beef. One common error is not turning the sweet potatoes, at least halfway through cooking, to achieve the final results called for in the recipe.

For meal prep, portion the potatoes and beef and cheese. Other toppings include avocado and hot honey. Reheat the beef and sweet potatoes before serving, using a microwave or pan, according to the recipe’s suggestions.
Why we keep this one around
- A four-person meal plan lets you cook roasted sweet potatoes and spice-seasoned beef one time to create several lunch and dinner meals and avoid cooking main meals more than one time.
- Keeping avocado and hot honey raw helps preserve their texture and makes other ingredients, such as roasted potatoes and beef and cottage cheese, ready to use as meal ingredients.
- Reheating only the beef and sweet potatoes so the avocado isn't reheated lets you put cold toppings on each serving.
- One baking sheet and skillet handle the cooked components. The recipe can be doubled without further preparation.
- Filling bowls with cottage cheese for each serving provides a creamy element for each bowl. Avocado slices and honey can be added to bowls at serving time.
- The 30-minute roasting time overlaps with skillet cooking, and the other cooking steps can be completed in 35 minutes to prepare four servings.
