Paleo Ground Beef Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 2 small carrots finely chopped
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cups paleo ketchup
• 2 tbsp paleo spicy mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes or until soft. Remove from the oven and let cool. Cut in half.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the carrots and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring regularly.
3. Add the ketchup, mustard, honey, vinegar, and water to the pan. Bring to a low simmer, then cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and add more ketchup or mustard as necessary. Spoon over the sweet potato halves to serve.
