Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Firslty, prepare sweet potatoes*

    Microwave Option

    Prick each sweet potato surface with a fork all over, place on a plate and Microwave on high for 8 minutes or until cooked through.

    Oven Option:

    Preheat oven to 200C. Place sweet potatoes on a lightly sprayed (with cooking oil) baking tray, cover with foil and place in the oven for about an hour, or until sweet potatoes are fully cooked in the centre (test with a fork).

  2. 2

    Slice sweet potatoes horizontally to open, and allow them to cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. Leave an inch of layer of sweet potato flesh on the skin so the potatoes can withhold the filling. Reserve the filling to add into the sauce

  3. 3

    Bolognese Sauce:

    In a medium - large sized pan, fry stir fry on medium heat until golden brown. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Add the garlic, beef, seasonings and cook stirring, while breaking up the mince. Once meat is browned, add the condensed soup (or tomato sauce) and soup powder, and cook until sauce begins to thicken and ingredients are soft. (Pour in 1/4 cup water if sauce is too thick).

  4. 4

    Distribute sauce evenly into each sweet potato half until they're all filled

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with cheese, and place into the oven under medium grill/broil settings, and cook until cheese has melted. Top with parsley and enjoy
