These easy chili stuffed sweet potatoes are perfect for a weeknight dinner. Paleo inspired, but many ways to customize.
These stuffed sweet potatoes are a fun variation to regular chili! The savory flavors of the chili with the sweetness of sweet potatoes are the perfect combo. This is comfort food at it's best!
I love these topped with fresh cilantro, plain Greek yogurt (my version of a dairy-free sour cream), radishes, and usually some avocado. But any of you favorite chili toppings would be delish with these stuff sweet potatoes!
Along with this fun twist on chili, I also love my Southwest Chicken Chili and my Sweet Potato and Quinoa Chili.
Enjoy!

Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (Paleo)
Recipe details
Ingredients
- ▢ 4 medium sweet potatoes
- ▢ 1 lb. ground beef
- ▢ 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- ▢ 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ▢ 2 tsp. chili powder
- ▢ 1 tsp. ground cumin
- ▢ 1/2 tsp. salt
- ▢ 1 can chopped/diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash sweet potatoes and pierce each potato with a fork 4-5 times (this allows steam to escape while baking). Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the potatoes all the way through with a fork. The size of your potatoes will determine the exact baking time.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the chili. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic to a medium-size skillet. Break up ground beef and mix with onion and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until the ground beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Turn heat to medium-low and stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and canned tomatoes. Cook until fully heated. Keep over low heat until potatoes are ready.
- Take your baked sweet potatoes and slice down the middle. Stuff with chili and top with your desired toppings,
- Enjoy!
Tips
- I recommend grass-fed/grass-finished ground beef when possible.
- Try to find sweet potatoes that are roughly the same size; this will help when baking to ensure they all done around the same time.
- Recommended toppings include guacamole or avocado, cilantro, sour cream (plain almond milk Greek yogurt if you're dairy-free), green onion, and/or radishes.
- For an even easier dinner, cook the sweet potatoes ahead of time so all you need to do is quickly make the chili and re-heat the sweet potatoes.
