Kale Stuffed Sweet Potato

stuffed sweet potato

Do you eat kale???  I have been trying new ways to enjoy this nutrient rich super veggie.  I have been enjoying stuffed sweet potato all fall, so when I saw a recipe using kale AND a crock pot I just had to try it.

Crockpot Stuffed Sweet Potato:

  • 2 cups of chopped kale
  • 1 can of back beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup of corn (can be frozen)
  • 1 container of salsa
  • 3 sweet potatoes

Scrub your sweet potatoes and set aside.  Take the Kale leaves off the middle stalk and chop finely.  I like to give my kale a little love and massage it a bit.  Throw the kale, beans, corn and salsa in the bottom of the crock pot and give everything a stir.  Sit the sweet potatoes on top and cook on high for about 3-4 hours or until potatoes are soft.  Take potatoes out and cut open.  Stuff them full with the filling from the bottom of the crockpot.

I usually enjoy one right away for lunch and wrap the other 2 stuffed potatoes up in foil and keep them in the fridge.  I will warm them up in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes for a quick and tasty lunch!

Enjoy!
