A Weeknight Delight: Sweet Potato, Bacon, and Egg Skillet

As a busy working mom, finding time to cook a healthy and delicious dinner can feel like a Herculean task. Between school pick-ups, after-school activities, and the never-ending to-do list, the last thing I want is to spend hours in the kitchen. That's why I've become a huge fan of quick, easy, and satisfying meals that the whole family loves. This Sweet Potato, Bacon, and Egg Skillet is one of those recipes. It's packed with flavor, surprisingly nutritious, and comes together in under 30 minutes – a true lifesaver on a busy weeknight.

The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. The sweet potatoes roast beautifully in the oven, lending a subtle sweetness that perfectly complements the salty bacon and rich eggs. I love using multi-colored sweet potatoes for their vibrant appearance and slightly different flavor profiles. The chipotle seasoning adds a smoky kick that elevates the dish without being overwhelming. Feel free to adjust the amount of seasoning to your preference. I personally love using FlavorGod seasoning, but a homemade blend of salt, pepper, chipotle powder, and cumin works just as well. Using a cast-iron skillet helps create a wonderfully crispy texture on the potatoes and a perfectly cooked egg. And don't forget the ghee! It adds a beautiful richness and subtle nutty flavor.

This skillet is incredibly versatile. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor. Leftovers make a fantastic lunch the next day, too! I often pack it up in my lunchbox for a satisfying and protein-packed meal. It's also a great recipe to make ahead of time for busy mornings. You can prepare the sweet potatoes and bacon the night before, and then quickly assemble the skillet in the morning for a delicious and easy breakfast. The possibilities are endless! So, ditch the takeout menus and try this simple yet impressive dish. Your family (and your schedule) will thank you!

Step-by-step

• Place bacon on baking sheet and put in oven at 425*F for approx 15-20 min. Set aside in paper towels.
• Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet over med-high with ghee and add diced the potatoes. Season with FlavorGod seasoning.
• When potatoes can be softly pierced with a fork, approx 10-15 min, add in half of your cooked bacon, chopped (save the other half for dinner), and crack 4 eggs over top.
• Tip: I crack each one in a small bowl to make sure I don't get any shell in skillet
• Cook on stove or in oven until egg whites are set. You may put a lid on to help steam.
• Sprinkle more FlavorGod Chipotle and ENJOY!
