Trying the Viral Cottage Cheese & Beef Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 medium Sweet Potato (peeled and cut into 1‑inch cubes)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra‑virgin, for tossing potatoes)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion Powder
• 0.25 tsp Chili Powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 8 oz Ground Beef (80% lean; can use 90% lean)
• 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning (store‑bought packet or homemade blend)
• 0.5 cup Cottage Cheese (full‑fat or low‑fat, chilled)
• 0.5 small Avocado (sliced; use half of a small avocado)
• 1 tsp Hot Honey (optional; can substitute regular honey or maple syrup)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the sweet potatoes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 425°F

2. Season Sweet Potatoes

   In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt until evenly coated.

   Time: PT10M

3. Roast Sweet Potatoes

   Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly crisp on the edges.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 425°F

4. Cook Ground Beef

   While the potatoes roast, heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and sprinkle the taco seasoning over it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), about 7 minutes.

   Time: PT7M

5. Assemble the Bowl

   Divide the roasted sweet potatoes between two serving bowls. Top each with half of the cooked ground beef, a generous spoonful of cottage cheese, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with hot honey if desired.
