Ope, Sorry! This Recipe Is So Good (And A Touch Spicy)!
Some recipes go viral because they’re flashy. Others stick because they actually make sense for real bodies and real days. This bowl falls into the second category.
At first glance, cottage cheese, avocado, and ground beef might sound a little unexpected, but once you try it, you get it. It’s simple, deeply satisfying, and packed with the kind of nourishment that keeps you full, steady, and energized instead of riding the blood sugar roller coaster.
This is the kind of meal you make when you want something quick but still want to feel taken care of. Warm, savory ground beef. Cool, creamy avocado. Cottage cheese bringing protein and balance. This is where it all comes together: a generous hit of Ope Sorry! It’s A Little Spicy Seasoning Blend. Just enough heat to wake things up, without overpowering the bowl.
It’s cozy in a modern, unfussy way. No complicated steps. No pretending food has to be perfect to be good for you. Just a bowl you can throw together at the kitchen counter, maybe while something simmers or the house is quiet for a moment.
This is comfort food for busy days. Nourishing, grounding, and surprisingly craveable.
Now let’s make it.
Ingredients:
- 3 medium size sweet potatoes peeled & diced into cubes
- Salt & pepper and other spices of your choice (see notes)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Ope Sorry! It's A Little Spicy Seasoning
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 to 3 avocados, diced
- Hot honey (I highly recommend Doc Spicy Honey from Arnold's Misfit Acres)
Instructions:
For the sweet potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl toss together the olive oil, cubed sweet potatoes and seasonings of your choice. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir them halfway through the cooking time.
For the ground beef:
While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the beef mixture. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as you go. Drain any excess grease and add the taco seasoning and water and mix well. Set aside.
Assembling the bowls:
Arrange some seasoned ground beef and some roasted sweet potatoes in a bowl. Add a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and some cubed avocado. Drizzle everything with hot honey.
This is one of those meals that proves nourishing food doesn’t have to be complicated to be good. Simple ingredients. Bold flavor. A bowl that actually leaves you feeling satisfied.
Whether you make this for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, or meal prep for the week, let it be a reminder that taking care of yourself can be straightforward and still delicious.
Serve it warm, season it generously, and enjoy it right where you are.
