  • Here’s what you will need:
    2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into thirds
    4 tablespoons butter, softened
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 pound ground meat (I used a combination of pork sausage and ground beef.)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 medium yellow onion, chopped
    2 cups mushrooms, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 cup beef broth

    1 teaspoon dried rosemary
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    1 cup frozen peas and carrots
    Grated Parmesan and fresh rosemary for garnish (optional)

In the same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until tender (4-5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the broth, crushed tomatoes, rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened. Then stir in the cooked meat, corn, peas and carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook 2 minutes.
