Step 1

Preheat oven to 375℉.

Step 2

In a skillet on medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped carrots, onions, peppers, mushrooms and minced garlic.

Step 3

Cook on medium heat until carrots are soft, about 12-15 minutes. Begin making the topping while the meat filling cooks.

Step 4

Once the carrots are soft, stir in tomato paste, water, seasonings, salt and pepper.

Step 5

For the topping: Steam or bake (at 375℉) the sweet potatoes until fork tender. Then add all of the topping ingredients to a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth. NOTE: If using white potatoes, we recommend mashing them by hand rather than blending to prevent them from getting pasty.

Step 6

Final step: Transfer the meat filling to a casserole dish (9 x 9 inch dish will work) or 10 inch cast iron skillet and top the meat filling with the sweet potato mash. Dash with sea salt and chili powder.

Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
