Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Last updated: 12/17/2018 by Erin Leave a Comment

An easy and nutritious dinner idea - black bean stuffed sweet potatoes with onions and lots of flavor.

Sweet potatoes are the most frequently consumed vegetable in this house, mainly because it’s something that, no matter how I prepare it, my kids will eat.  Luckily, there are so many ways to prepare sweet potatoes, both sweet and savory, and this Southwestern version was a huge hit and made for a satisfying meal.

I’m not above popping potatoes into the microwave to bake them up quickly, but there’s nothing like the texture you get from having the patience to bake them in the oven.  That crisp skin and butter soft inside… yum!

The black bean mixture on the inside adds a filling mix of protein and flavor that makes these potatoes a meal all on their own.  Enjoy!
