Loaded Sweet Potatoes

If you’re looking for a dinner that’s hearty, colorful, and seriously delicious, these loaded sweet potatoes are it. The potatoes get all soft and caramelized in the oven, then we stuff them with juicy ground beef, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and fresh tomatoes. And because no “loaded” recipe is complete without a little sauce action, everything gets topped with a creamy, tangy mayo-based sauce that ties it all together. It’s one of those meals that looks impressive, but is actually super easy to throw together on a weeknight. It's my go-to recipe if I want something simple and good!
