One-pan wonder recipes are the best since you're only cleaning one pan & they're usually quick & easy.  Am I right? Check out this Tex-Mex Sweet Potato Hash, a deliciously simple recipe from The Real Food Dietitians. It’s everything you want in a skillet dinner: hearty, balanced, and ready in about 30 minutes.

This one-pan wonder brings together nutritious ground beef, diced sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, and black beans, seasoned with bold Tex-Mex spices like cumin, chili powder, and paprika. The result is a warm, colorful hash that’s as filling as it is flavorful. It’s naturally gluten-free, packed with protein, and perfect for busy families who want a nutritious dinner without fuss.

But here’s what we really love about this recipe—it’s a base, not a boundary.

While the Tex-Mex profile gives it a satisfying kick, you can easily adapt the core ingredients to suit your mood or the season. Swap in Italian herbs, garlic, and a little tomato paste for a rustic Mediterranean feel. Or go bold with curry powder and a dollop of Greek yogurt for something warming and spiced. Even breakfast flavors—think sage, rosemary, and a soft-fried egg on top—work beautifully.

And thanks to ground beef’s mild, meaty richness, it plays well with just about any flavor you throw at it. It's one of the reasons it’s always stocked in our own freezers—and why it’s a favorite among our customers. Whether you’re feeding a family or meal-prepping for the week, ground beef brings both substance and nutrition to the table.

Looking to give this hash your own spin? Try these simple upgrades:

• Add a fried or poached egg on top for extra protein and richness.

• Stir in spinach or kale for a quick boost of greens.

• Top with avocado slices or a spoonful of Greek yogurt to balance the spice.

• Use your own favorite seasoning blend to make it uniquely yours.

The Tex-Mex Sweet Potato Hash is proof that a humble package of ground beef can turn into something unexpectedly crave-worthy—and that with a little creativity, it can become something entirely your own.
