This is a healthier twist on the classic heavy meal. It doesn't taste like it but this meal has 7 different vegetables. My one and a half year old could not get enough of this! My husband loved it too so it is safe to say this meal is good for the whole family. The sweet potatoes and savory meat/vegetable mixture create a perfect balance. Feel free to double the recipe and put some in the freezer for the future.

Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A and fiber.
