Paleo Hamburger Helper

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion cut into large chunks
1 green pepper
4-5 sweet potatoes, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 large mushrooms, quartered
2 links of sausage, sliced, preferably without sugar- available at Trader Joes
several large handfuls of spinach
seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, basil, paprika



1. Brown the beef in a large pot that has a cover. I have a large covered dutch oven
2. When browned, add onion, and green pepper. Cook about 5 minutes until veggies begin to soften.
3. Add shredded sweet potatoes and olive oil. Stir to combine everything, and then add mushrooms and sausage.
4. Add seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, basil, paprika and stir.
5. Cook covered on medium heat for around 20 minutes, until sweet potatoes are softened.
6. Just prior to serving, add several large handfuls of spinach. Stir into sweet potatoes until spinach is wilted.

** This is great reheated the next day for lunch. Make a large pot and get your tupperware ready!
