{Note: Recipe does not state when to put the beef back in. I suggest
putting it back with the water, black-eyed peas and coconut milk.}

This recipe is an excellent source of protein, niacin, vitamin B6,
vitamin B12, iron, selenium and zinc; and a good source of fiber.
Total recipe time: 45 to 50 minutes
Servings: 6

1 1/2 lb 95% ground beef
1 cup diced peeled sweet potato
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tsp curry powder
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups water OR ready-to-serve beef broth
1 (15 1/2 oz can) black-eyed peas, rinsed, drained
1 (13 1/2 oz can) light unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups packed fresh baby spinach leaves
3 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and ground black pepper

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
Add ground beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into
3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from
skillet with slotted spoon. Pour off drippings in pan; add
sweet potato, onion, bell pepper and curry powder.

Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until onion and pepper are crisp-tender,
stirring occasionally. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 minute.

Stir in water, black-eyed peas and coconut milk; bring to a
boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until
sweet potato is tender. Stir in spinach and thyme.
Cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Season with
salt and black pepper, as desired.
