What pairs well with a ground beef sweet potato bowl?

This bowl is hearty on its own, but you can serve it with a light side like a fresh green salad, grilled vegetables, or a citrusy slaw. For drinks, try iced tea or lime-infused sparkling water to brighten the flavors.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! This dish is ideal for meal prep. Store the beef and sweet potatoes separately from fresh toppings. Reheat the base, then add your favorite cold ingredients and sauce just before serving.

Is this bowl Whole30 or paleo-friendly?

It can be! Use clean-label ground beef and seasonings, skip dairy-based toppings, and use sauces like avocado lime or tahini. Double-check all condiments and flavorings to stay compliant.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the beef and potatoes in the microwave or stovetop until warm. Add fresh toppings and sauce after reheating for the best texture.
