Savory pineapple beef combines with roasted sweet potatoes and fresh spinach, along with a quick mango avocado salsa, in this delicious weeknight bowl.

“I made these earlier this week and they were a huge hit with the whole family–my 10 year old LOVED them! Will definitely make again! Thank you!” -Cherry

The other night I couldn’t sleep. I was tossing and turning and then all of the sudden the idea for these sweet potato pineapple beef bowls popped into my head.

Then I really couldn’t sleep because I wanted to get up right then and make them.

I couldn’t wait for the weekend and the chance to whip up this sweet and savory combination. 

When Saturday finally arrived I grabbed a few simple ingredients and got to work.

Andrew, Elle, and I then proceeded to down the heaping bowls full of the sweet potatoes, pineapple beef, and luscious avocado mango salsa.

The grownups also added a good dose of hot sauce, which really sent the bowls over the top.

In the end it seems my restless nighttime vision turned out to be a great kitchen success. 

Give these bowls a try, I think you’re going to love them too.

Now, let’s make some Sweet Potato Beef Bowls with Mango Avocado Salsa!

RECIPE ADAPTATIONS

1 | Feel free to substitute ground turkey in place of the beef if you prefer.

2 | Fresh diced pineapple would also work in place of the mango in the salsa. 

3 | Serve all the parts separately: roasted sweet potatoes, pineapple beef, mango chunks, avocado slices, and spinach.

4 | Is your resistant eater not a fan of spinach? Swap it for any preferred raw veggie.
