This picadillo with sweet potatoes is savory, sweet, and loaded with flavor. I make this once a week because it's super easy to make and requires minimal ingredients.

- 1 lb ground beef 90/10
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, cubed
- ½ onion diced
- ½ green bell pepper diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 8 ounces tomato sauce

- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon cumin

- ¼ cup olives optional
- ½ cup water
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet, break it up, and cook over medium-high heat until completely browned.
- Stir in the onions and peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 20 seconfs.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Season with Kosher salt and enjoy!
Notes
- If you use 80/20 ground beef, make sure to discard any excess oil so the picadillo doesn't turn out greasy.
- Make sure to season generously with Kosher salt right before serving.
- If you like picadillo extra saucy, add more water and cook for a few extra minutes.
