Great to cook up the night before for dinner, then heat up on the go in the morning.  Double batch it for meals throughout the week! *just add apples in on the day you are eating it.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced small (1/2”)

1 lb ground pork, or chicken, or beef

Salt and pepper

Spice mixture below OR 1 1/2 Tbsp Primal Palate Breakfast Blend

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp sage

1/2 tsp turmeric

1 large apple diced (I like honey crisp)

3 cups kale chopped + 1-2 Tbsp water or broth

2-3 Tbsp ghee, coconut oil, or avocado oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Brown the meat separately from the potatoes.

2. Brown meat in about 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee, sprinkling with salt, pepper, and half the seasoning, once browned, set aside.

3. In a large skillet, add 1-2 Tbsp ghee or oil and heat to med/hi. Add potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cook about 2 minutes uncovered, stirring to brown.

4. Cover the skillet and lower heat to medium, cook another 3-5 minutes, stirring once midway, until soft. 

5. Uncover and add apples, kale and water or broth, then cover again and cook 1-2 minutes, uncover and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. 

6. Continue to cook another minute uncovered or until toasty.

7. Add browned meat to potato mixture and stir, cook another 30 seconds to warm and then remove from heat, serve right away. Enjoy!
