Recipes with similar ingredients: sweet potato, carrot, tomatoes, ground beef, cheddar cheese, sour cream, meat sauce, ground cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork and microwave until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes, turning once. Set aside and keep warm.
Meanwhile, place the carrots, garlic, tomatoes, and onion in a food processor; add the vinegar, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Pulse a few times to chop the vegetables.

Chili with meat:

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until completely dry, 3-4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Cut the sweet potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh, and add it to the beef mixture; stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Divide the sweet potato halves among 4 plates and generously fill each half with the beef filling. Drizzle with sour cream, sprinkle with cheddar, and scallions.
