Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes

(serves 4)

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 1 lb (450 g) lean ground meat
• 1 12 oz (680 g) jar of your favorite good-quality marinara sauce
• Optional: grated cheddar or goat’s cheese

Wash, dry, and pierce the potatoes with a fork several times. Place in the microwave to cook (time will vary depending on your oven, 15-20 minutes).

While it cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick coating. Place the ground meat in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally to break it up into bite-sized chunks. Cook until brown, 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess fat and add the marinara sauce.

When the potatoes are ready, place on plates and slice along the top, opening up to fluff the potato. Top with the marinara mixture, and sprinkle with optional cheese. Delish!
