Start off this bold bread bowl by browning ground beef until cooked, then build layers of richness with sautéed sweet potatoes, bell pepper and onion. Stir in warm spices—ginger, allspice, cayenne and thyme—for a fragrant kick that fills the kitchen. Simmer with black beans, tomatoes and broth until everything is tender and cozy. Ladle into our crusty French Mini Boule and top with creamy avocado, melty cheese or a dollop of sour cream. It’s a hearty, feel-good meal that’s so satisfying.
