These Paleo Chili Stuffed Sweet Potoates are great for any meal of the day! Packed with protein and nutrients and also Whole30 compliant!

My obsession with sweet potatoes goes back many years when I did my first Whole 30 and realized what versatile and yummy veggies there were. Before I ventured off into my first Whole 30 my idea of potatoes was that they were all bad and had too many starches, but as with most foods time and research changed the game. I love how you can use sweet potatoes for savory things like Maple Thyme Roasted Sweet Potato as well as Sweet Potato Cinnamon Cheesecake, we all know brussel sprouts are not that creative. 

This is a classic chili recipe that we have paired with the cooked sweet potato, that way no one gets outshined and each bite can have a perfect pairing of both sweet potato and chili. The chili comes together rather quickly with the meat being browned in a skillet for 5-8 minutes, next adding all the tomato paste, tomatoes and spices and getting everything mixed all together. The sweet potatoes cook in a 400 degree oven for almost an hour, you will know they are done when you can spear it with a fork and it goes in easily.

If you would like to really jazz this dinner up feel free to add all the usual topping you would add to a baked potato to the top of the chili. This means sour cream, cheese, chives, maybe s0me bacon bites. The options are endless with this meal whether you are fixing this for a crowd or just prepping for yourself for meals for the week, this paleo chili stuffed sweet potatoes are just perfect.

Can I substitute the ground beef?

Yes, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken in place on the ground beef.

Do I need to soak my sweet potatoes before cooking them?

No, when you cook the sweet potato whole in the oven they do not need to be soaked in water. Feel free to rinse them off before you stab them, but no nead to soak them.
