Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato (1.5 cups diced approx.)
- 1 tablespoon of EVOO
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 small cloves of garlic (about 2 teaspoons peeled and chopped)
- 1 small onion (about ⅓ cup peeled and chopped)
- 1 small red pepper (about 1 cup washed and chopped)
- 1 small green pepper (about 1 cup washed and chopped)
- 7 ounces (200 g or 1 cup) of ground beef
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper powder
- 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence*
- 8 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350ºF (180ºC).
- Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small cubes.
- Place them in a 12 x 7.5-inch (30,5 x 19 cm) glass baking dish with a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Bake them at 350ºF (180ºC) for about 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Prep the rest of the ingredients except the eggs: dice the bacon and the pepper, and peel and chop the onion and garlic.
- Fry the diced bacon in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. You don’t need to add any oil as the bacon is already oily.
- Once the bacon starts releasing its oil, add the onion and garlic, and stir.
- Add the peppers and stir.
- Add the ground meat, stir and make the meat into small pieces.
- Add the salt, pepper and herbes de Provençe.
- Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is cooked.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Once the sweet potatoes are soft, take the baking dish out of the oven, add the meat mixture, the whisked eggs and stir well.
- Distribute the mixture evenly in the baking dish and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the casserole comes out clean.
- Serve when still hot.
Notes
*Herbes de Provence is a mix of dried herbs with the main ones being savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, oregano.
MAKE IT VEGETARIAN:
