3.8K

I am all about the “one pan meals” some nights, as a busy momma! This bbq sweet potato and burger skillet is perfect for an evening you want to skip(most of) the dishes. I have a love hate relationship with bbq sauce to be honest. Recently, I’ve begun to open my mind to the flavor, and discovered some yummy meals to make with it! This meal is packed full of fresh ingredients and is super easy to make! Give it a try!
