This is a versatile dinner that can be dressed up, down, and sideways depending on whom you’re feeding. Set out sour cream, yogurt, or shredded cheese as additional toppers for the sweet potatoes. Put the meat mixture between toasted buns for a version of Sloppy Joes. Swap in harissa paste or Thai red curry paste for the gochujang. In the spirit of meal prepping, consider doubling the meat mixture and freezing half as a gift to your future self.
