Ingredients
Coconut oil- this whole30 approved oil is perfect for this dish
Ground beef- choose the kind you enjoy. I like to cook my ground beef ahead of time and freeze it until I’m ready to use it
Onion- Onions are a basic ingredient that helps to stretch the meal and add great flavor. Thinly slice them so they don’t over power each bite
Garlic- I get a huge jar of minced garlic from Costco and add as much as I want, you can’t go wrong with garlic
Beef broth- If you don’t have beef broth, you can use bullion, or stock
Seasonings- seasonings can be used generously, the ones for this skillet include, basil, onion powder, salt, and black pepper
Ginger- I use about 1 tsp of ginger from a tube, but you can use fresh, or powdered as well
Sweet potato-the star of this skillet, your sweet potatoes should be diced into about 1/2 inch cubes
Carrots- carrots aren’t necessary, but they add a slight sweetness
Brussels sprouts- while brussels sprouts get a bad rap sometimes, these really go with the sweet potatoes for a healthy addition to your meal. Enjoy them quartered so they are in more bites of your skillet
