Twice Baked Pork Sweet Potatoes

First off - thank you PaleOMG for the amazing recipe that I slightly tweaked as my own.  If you guys haven't checked her out - I highly suggest it.  She's actually funny (unlike our sad attempts).

Ingredients:

1 lb of ground pork (or turkey, chicken..whatever animal makes you happy)

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tbs coconut oil

1 yellow onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tsp of chipotle chili powder

1 tsp ground red pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp of paprika

Salt/Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425.  Cut your sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and place face down on a cookie sheet (I used a little bit of coconut oil on the cookie sheet so they wouldn’t stick).  Bake for 25-35 minutes. 

While your potatoes are baking, sautee your onions and garlic in some coconut oil until the onions become translucent.  Add your ground meat.  When it is cooked half way, dump in your spices.  Remove from the heat when fully cooked.

When the potatoes are done cooking (the outside skins should be easy to push on), scoop out the insides and add to your meat mixture.  Be careful not to remove too much, or you won’t have any “boats” left to fill. 

Thoroughly mix together the sweet potatoes and meat mixture, then scoop back into your empty potato skins. 

Place the loaded potatoes back into the oven for 5-10 minutes to harden the mixture.

Seriously amazing.  I brought two halves for lunch today, but I think they would be delicious with some scrambled eggs too.
