  1. Sizzle the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Crumble and cook until the beef is nearly done. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon Crisp Morning for that sweet-and-spicy kick.

  2. Add Garlic: Stir in garlic, cooking for an extra minute to wake up the flavors. Remove beef mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.

  3. Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, add diced sweet potatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, water, and an extra sprinkle of Crisp Morning. Mix well, cover, and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

  4. Bring It Together: Return the beef mixture to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.

  5. Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the skillet. Cover for 1–2 minutes or until cheese melts into gooey perfection.

  6. Garnish & Serve: Top with cilantro or green onions, and if you’re feeling extra cheesy, sprinkle more Crisp Morning on top.

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Pro Tip

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne along with Crisp Morning.
  • Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter twist.
  • Sweet potatoes don’t need peeling if you prefer a rustic texture—just scrub well.
