Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Put the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and add to the oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes.
Chop the onion and bell pepper.
Add the ground beef, chopped onion and bell pepper to a large skillet on medium heat, breaking apart the meat as it cooks.
Once the meat is fully cooked, add the spices and salt. Stir to combine.
Check the sweet potatoes- they are done when easily pierced with a fork.
Let the sweet potatoes cool enough to handle, then slice lengthwise down the middle. Stuff each sweet potato with the meat and veggie mixture.
Serve with toppings of choice!

Chef's Tips

Sub for ground beef: ground turkey, ground chicken.
Instead of sweet potatoes, serve over a microwave bag of rice.
Instead of baking the sweet potatoes, cook them in the microwave for 10-15 minutes.
