Enjoy these cheesy ground beef stuffed sweet potatoes as a healthy alternative to classic cheeseburgers for an easy family-friendly weeknight dinner full of protein, nutrition, and flavor!
Place your sweet potatoes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Pierce them a few times each with the tip of the knife or a fork. Bake in your preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or just until soft when pierced.
While your potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add your ground meat and cook, breaking it apart.
Once partially cooked, drain any excessive grease if desired, then add the sea salt, pepper, paprika, and chopped onion.
Cook for 5–6 minutes until beef is nicely browned and onions are soft.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Let it cook for another 2 minutes or so until it's nice and saucy.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar directly in the hot beef mixture. Stir gently until melted and creamy.
Remove sweet potatoes from the oven.
Slice each potato lengthwise and gently press open to form a pocket as shown in the video.
Spoon your cheesy burger mixture equally into each potato.
Top with diced tomatoes, red onion, and dill pickles.
