Sweet Potato & Beef Stew

This recipe has got your carbs, your meat and your veg all in one!

Simple but effected dish with little faff, great for when you don't have much time. The slowcooker perfectly softens the beef mince, sweet potato and vegetables. The herbs and seasoning add that little extra flavour for minimal effort.

I served mine up with green beans for some extra veggies for the day, however, you can just eat as is. Also, great for freezing leftovers for another day and can easily be scaled up or down.
