All the classic flavors of a typical beef, bean, and sweet potato chili topped off with steamed and poached eggs. It’s an incredible way to start your day off on the right foot. 

Chili is the ultimate comfort food. That’s how this Breakfast Chili Ground Beef Sweet Potato Hash came into existence. I was craving the flavors of chili and thought how great it would be as a hearty morning meal. 

When the temperature stops to drop, it’s easy to want to switch up your breakfast routine.

While overnight oats and chia puddings are great make-ahead meals, I also love making something a bit more warm and robust on those colder days. 

Protein-packed is an understatement for this recipe! Ground beef, bone broth, beans, AND eggs make this a truly satisfying meal.

I also add sweet potatoes which are a source of healthy carbs and avocado slices on top for an amazing source of healthy fats. 

So go ahead and make this meal for yourself or your favorite people in your life. 

Everyone will leave the table feeling happy and well-fed. Enjoy! 

Ingredients for Ground Beef Sweet Potato Hash 

You’ll find all the traditional chili ingredients here! Keeping a lot of these staples in your pantry will make mealtime easy. Here’s what you’ll need. 

• Lean Ground Beef: For this recipe, I used 90/10 organic ground beef which you can find at pretty much any grocery store, including @wholefoods. 
• Veggies: Sweet potato is a healthy carb that adds extra oomph to the dish while sauteed onion and red bell pepper are sauteed together to give the
• Spices: To get the classic chili flavors, I used a combo of chili powder, cumin, and paprika. 
• Canned Tomatoes: I’m all about letting the ingredients do the work for you. That’s why I tend to lean on fire-roasted diced tomatoes for Southwestern-inspired dishes like this one. 

• Beef Broth: I’m all about adding an extra source of nourishing protein whenever possible, and beef bone broth is one of the richest sources. 
• Kidney Beans: I’m a fan of beans in my chili, but you can omit them if you’re a pure beef and potato kind of person! 
• Eggs: To make this breakfast-appropriate, four eggs are steamed in the chili mixture at the end. The result is a perfectly runny egg, similar to what you’d see in a shakshuka recipe. Perfect for dipping those sweet potatoes into! 
• Toppings: I top this just like I would for any chili with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, sliced avocado, and plenty of hot sauce. 

How to Make Breakfast Chili Sweet Potato Hash

Let’s start by cooking the beef and veggies. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes.

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. You only need to add it if the pan looks dry.

Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until translucent.

Add the garlic, bell pepper, and sweet potato and cook for an additional 2 minutes until softened.

Next, sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, and paprika, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Make a well in the center and add the tomato paste, allowing it to caramelize a bit before incorporating it into the mixture.

Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, coconut sugar, and beans, and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once everything has had the chance to simmer, cook the eggs.

Make four small wells in the chili mixture and crack an egg into each. Cover the pan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and avocado. Serve hot and enjoy!
