BEEFY STUFFED SWEET POTATO
We used a clever trick to pack veggies into these Latin-inspired stuffed potatoes: We chop the carrots, onion and tomato into small pieces that go almost unnoticed when cooked with the ground beef-perfect for that picky vegetable eater who's trying to eat healthier.

Steps:
- Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork tender, about 10 minutes, rotating about halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
- Combine the chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cayenne and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller chunks, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among four plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Toss the shredded carrots with the cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Divide the carrot slaw among the four plates.

CREAMY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
I like to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes because they can be prepared ahead of time. With the addition of cream cheese, they are very creamy and not overly sweet. It is so easy to increase the quantity to any number. -Linda Call, Falun, Kansas

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes and carrots: For the best results, select medium-sized sweet potatoes and carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Sweet potatoes with dark orange flesh are generally sweeter and more flavorful.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can elevate the flavor of your stuffed vegetables. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, cumin, and paprika.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooking can make the vegetables mushy and bland. Aim to cook them until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Let the vegetables cool before stuffing: This will help to prevent the filling from becoming soggy.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Stuffed vegetables are best served hot or warm. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them before serving.
