The sweet potatoes are good if you bake in about a 350 degree oven for about an hour or until tender & serve like baked potatoes (with butter, salt & pepper)!. If you don't have the ground beef thawed when you are ready to use then brown it with some salt, pepper & onions & garlic & drain it!. then add 2 tablespoons of oil & heat it up!. If you have rice or noodles you can toast them at that time after toasted then add some water 2 parts to 1part rice or noodles if you want sauce you can add 3!. you might also add a can of tomato sauce to it & you may steam the veggies on the side or add them right in the mixture & simmer about 15 minutes
