Description
The Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl is a sweet, spicy, savory, and creamy high-protein dish featuring roasted sweet potatoes, taco-seasoned ground beef, avocado, cottage cheese, and a bold drizzle of hot honey. Perfect for meal prep and naturally gluten-free.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef (93% preferred)
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 packet taco seasoning or homemade mix
2 tbsp hot honey
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway.
- In a skillet, heat remaining olive oil and sauté diced onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
- To assemble, divide roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with cooked beef, sliced avocado, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
- Drizzle hot honey over the top just before serving. Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro or a lime wedge.
Notes
Use ground turkey, chicken, or lentils for variation.
Add grains like quinoa or brown rice to bulk up the bowl.
Swap cottage cheese for hummus or a dairy-free alternative if needed.
Control heat by adjusting the amount of hot honey or using a mild version.
Pickled onions, feta, or jalapeños make great toppings.
