Recipe: Sweet Potato Beef Paprikash (served our family of 7 + a few leftovers)
3 lbs ground beef
3 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 tsp paprika
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup water
1 (4-oz) can tomato paste
3 sweet potatoes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes and slice to about 1/4″ thickness. Lay a single layer in a 9×13 pan, and drizzle with a bit of the olive oil. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook until translucent. Add in the meat, tomato paste, water, and seasonings and cook until meat is browned. Pour a layer of meat over the sweet potatoes in the dish. Layer another layer of sweet potatoes, then meat, then potatoes, then meat, until everything is used up. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes, until sweet potatoes are cooked through. Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Viola! Sweet Potato Beef Paprikash is ready to serve!

This absolutely rocked! We enjoyed it for dinner tonight and are looking forward to pairing it with coconut scrambled eggs tomorrow morning for breakfast! Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the few dishes I’ve made while doing whole30 that my husband really liked. I added extra salt and some garlic and onion powder, and left out the red pepper flakes, and it was so delicious. I can’t wait to eat it again for lunch tomorrow. I cut the recipe in half since I’m cooking for 2, but I’ll have to make the whole recipe next time.

I found this recipe today and made it for supper. AWESOME. This is going on the ‘will make again’ list.

So yummy! Thanks so much for the recipe! Our whole family of 6 has taken on the Whole 30 challenge and this is definitely a kid friendly recipe. ? I did vary it a little by adding some minced garlic (I’m kind of a big garlic fan ?) And swapped the tomato paste and water for Aldi’s oraganic marinara sauce, which, to my understanding, is compliant. ?

Do you think you can make this with sliced Butternut squash instead?? Thanks!
Shanti Landon says
Mmm, I bet that would be great!
Andrea Patton says
I did NOT expect this to be so delicious!! I seriously only made it because I had a lot of ground beef on hand. But the entire family loved it. Our family of 6 (4 daughters, ages 18, 17, 14, & 12) only ate about half of it, so we are excited to have lots of leftovers. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
