Sloppy Joe Sweet Potato Boats
Ingredients
Instructions
For the Sloppy Joe mixture
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and beef to the pan, spreading it around the pan to break it up. Add honey and Montreal seasoning, and stir to combine.
  2. When the meat has browned, add the onion and red pepper.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and cook for five minutes.
  4. Add vinegar, stirring briefly to reduce, then add Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and paste, stirring to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to simmer and cook Sloppy Joe mixture five minutes longer.
  6. Serve each portion of meat on ½ cup or so of baked sweet potato. If you want the “boat” effect, scoop out a bit of the potato to form a boat shape which is perfect for holding the sloppy joe meat. The extra, leftover sweet potato can be reserved for another meal.
