Hey, hey!
I’m breathing life into an old recipe, but it’s one that has changed and morphed so much over the years, it’s practically a new one all together. It’s definitely become a tried-and-true meal that we make again and again, so I just had to share the updated and easier (!!) recipe. I swear, this meal comes together in no time at all, especially if you use pre-cut sweet potatoes, and since it only requires one pan for cooking, there isn’t much clean-up either!

Directions:
Dice sweet potatoes (peel them if you’d like) into small pieces and then add them to a large saute pan with oil, garlic/onion powder, salt, and cinnamon. Coat sweet potatoes in oil and spices, cover with a lid, and cook on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, mixing occasionally.
When the sweet potatoes are semi-soft, add the ground meat to the pan. (It’s okay if the sweet potatoes aren’t fully cooked; the fat from the meat will help them soften.) Break up the meat as it cooks and toss around the sweet potatoes on occasion.
Continue to cook the sweet potatoes and meat until it is no longer pink. Then, add the spinach and cook until it is wilted.
Remove pan from heat and serve immediately.
I love this meal so much. It’s so easy to make, and it’s soooo tasty! I hope it becomes a staple in your house too! 🙂

I love making a hash for a quick weeknight meal. We usually top ours with an egg or two and dig in!
Yummmm! Love the idea of adding an egg!
@Tina:
We like doing an egg and balsamic vinegar (or balsamic glaze is even better). Love this easy dinner recipe!
I LOVE this recipe. I found it on CnC years ago, and I probably make it a few times a month. It’s a favorite in my house. I also add a squirt of ketchup or Sriracha on top. 🙂
Yum! I like adding hot sauce to it! 🙂
Yummmmmm this looks amazing! A really great idea for a weeknight meal. When I get home I’m so hungry that I want to eat everything in sight, so I always try to make dinners that are quick whip together. I’ll have to try this next week! Thanks for the recipe!
Love this recipe! I have made this over and over since you first talked about it, delicious!
Yum! Looks so good and something I could actually cook without messing up haha
that looks delicious and SO simple. am definitely going to try it
Love this one! I’ve been making it since you first debuted. My favorite is to top it with feta cheese. The saltiness of the cheese plus the sweetness of the potatoes and savory of the meat is amazing!
Mmm! That sounds so good!!
I can’t believe I just discovered this recipe. It’s so minimal and simple and healthy and looks sooo good.

I’ve made this a few times from your original recipe and love it! Do you ever pair this with something else? It’s enough for a meal for me but my husband always says he thinks it’s a side dish and something else should go with it. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
I remember making this recipe back when I was in grad school, just learning to cook!
Just made this… love it!!! I used minced garlic and chopped onion. So yummy and clean
So glad you liked it!!! 🙂
Looks so great,i like carrots a lot,think i will try to cook this,thanks for sharing!
I LOVE sweet potato. I made a potato and beef hash, but this looks healthier and even more delicious! I’ll be trying it soon!
xx!
Looks like a great meal for when you don’t have much time to cook. Will have to bookmark this one.
Made this tonight for the first time. So good! Thnx!!
Holy mother of pearl, that looks fantastic. It’s similar to the sweet potato hash my wife and I bake, it’s just cubed sweet potatoes, sliced almonds, a sliced onion, a splash of amaretto, and some thyme baked for about 15 minutes (or until the potatoes are soft). It’s phenomenal. I haven’t tried a skillet like this before for a sweet hash with cinnamon in it. I will so be doing this!
My 10-month-old gobbled this up like a maniac. Guess this is one of our new go-to recipes!
Oh YUM ! Must try these, they look wonderful and so quick to make.
I’m so glad I found this recipe. I’m going to make it tonight! Looks so easy, delicious and healthy. This looks like a recipe you can make and eat weekly!
Love this recipe. I felt like it was a bit bland, so I added some garlic salt and mixed in some avocado. YUM! it’s a hit in my household!
