Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 1 h 35 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 4 medium sweet potatoes; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 onion, chopped; 1 lb. ground beef; 2/3 c. ketchup; 1/3 c. barbecue sauce; 2 tbsp. yellow mustard; 1 tbsp. brown sugar; 1 tsp. chili powder; 1 tsp. garlic powder; kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese; 2 tbsp. Sliced green onions, for garnish

Step 1Preheat oven to 400° and place sweet potatoes on a medium baking sheet. Using a fork, poke potatoes all over. Place in the oven to bake until tender, 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 2Meanwhile, make sloppy joe mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil and cook onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat.

Step 3Stir in ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard, brown sugar, chili powder and garlic powder and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more.

Step 4When sweet potatoes are tender, cut a slit in the center of each sweet potato. Stuff with sloppy joe mixture and top with cheese. Return to oven to bake until cheese is melty, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve.
