The Cottage Cheese Sweet Potato Meat Bowl – that is a lot of words for a recipe that isn’t really a recipe. More lots of fresh ingredients chopped up and served bowl style – and it all comes together.
But it’s so good. All the flavors come together and fill you up nicely. The sweet potatoes really contrast with the meat and the cottage cheese does work. Really well.
It’s high protein as well, gluten-free and somewhat keto (I don’t demonize vegetables as being “bad”. Ever. Unless it’s Okra. Lol.)
Cottage Cheese Sweet Potato Meat Bowl
Ingredients:
- 5 sweet potatoes (hand size, not too thick)
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1 to 1¼ pounds ground turkey or beef
- 16-ounce container full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large avocados
- Avocado oil
- Fine sea salt
- Other spices, as desired
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°.
Peel and trim the sweet potatoes, cut into bite size pieces. Toss with a bit of oil and salt, spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for about 35 minutes, until tender and deliciously brown.
Meanwhile, add a bit of oil to a saute pan. Add in the meat.
Chop the onion, add to the pan, and cook till the meat is done, over medium-high heat. Season to taste – I used lower sodium Old Bay liberally.
Divide the potatoes between 4 shallow bowls, then the meat. Place a quarter of the cottage cheese in each bowl, and half an avocado sliced on top.
Now then, top it however you’d like. For the boys, they got some cheese added. And then I drizzled on fry sauce on top – and that was perfect.
Serves around 4.
