Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Sweet Potatoes Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each several times with a fork. Bake for 1 hour until tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetable Mix While the sweet potatoes are baking, finely chop the onion, carrots, and mushrooms.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Seasonings Add the carrots, mushrooms, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, sage, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Step 5: Simmer the Filling Reduce heat to low-medium, cover, and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 6: Incorporate Peas and Prepare Oven Stir in the frozen peas and turn off the heat. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 7: Prepare Sweet Potato Topping Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Peel them and place the flesh in a bowl. Add coconut oil and salt, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 8: Assemble and Bake Evenly spread the mashed sweet potatoes over the beef mixture in the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the topping is slightly golden.
