INSTRUCTIONS

1.       Preheat oven to 375℉.

2.       In a skillet on medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped carrots, onions, peppers, mushrooms and minced garlic.

3.       Cook on medium heat until carrots are soft, about 12-15 minutes. Begin making the topping while the meat filling cooks.

4.       Once the carrots are soft, stir in tomato paste, water, seasonings, salt and pepper.

5.       For the topping: Steam or bake (at 375℉) the sweet potatoes until fork tender. Then add all of the topping ingredients to a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth.

6.       Transfer the meat filling to a casserole dish (9 x 9 inch dish will work) and top the meat filling with the sweet potato mash. Dash with sea salt and chili powder.

7.       Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
