I’m not going to lie to you… eating 1/2 pound of ground beef out of a tupperware kind of makes you feel like a caveman- but in the best way possible? It’s hard to explain, but a meal prep like this unleashes something out of you that you weren’t aware was there to begin with. Anyway, this meal prep is a cheesy tex-mex skillet with sweet potatoes for a little flare. Give this bad boy a try & let me know what you think!
