Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl

A delicious and satisfying dish that combines savory and sweet flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93%)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 sliced avocado
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 diced yellow onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking the meat apart. Stir in taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, and continue to cook until browned.
  4. Assemble the bowls: start with sweet potatoes on the bottom, then add the cooked ground beef, avocado slices, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
  5. Drizzle hot honey generously over each bowl. If desired, add optional garnishes like chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, or lime juice for extra flavor.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy while warm.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into even sizes for even cooking. You can customize the protein or add other veggies.
