Shut your face. Stop praising me. I’m not a genius. I did not come up with this recipe. Well, I guess I kind of did, but then a reader added the sweet potato idea and I couldn’t resist. Could not resist this little meat excitement. I recreated Meatza My Way the other day and had mentioned about making a buffalo style meatza. It is now real. You could touch it.
Have you ever woke up with your heart beating out of control? It’s not a fun feeling. You see, I got to sleep in until 6:30am the other day and about crapped myself when I woke up around 6:15am and it was light outside. I’m not used to having any sort of sunlight coming in my windows when my alarm goes off at 4:15am. So since I forgot it was my sleep in day, my heart rate was raised to around 200 beats per minute. And that’s high. I just googled it.
I hate being a member of Living Social and Groupon deals. I need to unsubscribe or whatever you do to stop receiving 8 emails a day from them. Just because it’s 75% off doesn’t mean I have the money to get a massage weekly. Or pedicure. I don’t want to pay someone to be grossed out by my feet. I have that job. It doesn’t pay well.

- 2lbs TX Bar Organics Grass Fed Ground Beef
- 1lb ground chicken
- 1 yam (or a sweet potato if you call it that…because I do), diced
- ¼ cup hot sauce (I love Frank’s but whatever you like)
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place your ground beef a bowl along with your herbs: basil, parsley, and orgeano as well as some salt and pepper.
- Add the ground beef to a 9×13 glass baking dish and place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes.
- While your ground beef bakes, place a large skillet over medium heat and add your coconut oil to the pan. Once the coconut oil becomes hot, add your diced yams.
- Cover to help steam and cook for about 5 minutes or so.
- When your yams begin to soften, add your ground chicken along with your garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper.
- Use a wooden spoon to break up the chicken, then cover to help cook through completely.
- When the chicken is done cooking through, add your hot sauce and mix thoroughly.
- When your ground beef is done cooking through, add your chicken and yam/sweet potato mixture on top of the beef. Then add a bit more hot sauce to top it all off.
- Bake for about 5 minutes.
- Then use a meatza cutter and serve!























Holy hell. I could eat 2 of these a day easy. Can’t wait to make it!
Try it Kevin!!
meant to tell you that I tried plantains out at a restaurant after you posted the beef and plantain recipe and now I’m hooked. But I know I could make them better at home with some coconut oil etc… can’t wait to try out your recipe!
So much better when you make them at home!
Amazing. Can’t wait to try this!
For whatever reason, when out scouring the interwebs instead of doing my taxes , I came across this blog/entry, and was reminded of PaleOMG as well …

This recipe + that article = just what I needed to get me through this week! Thanks for the inspiration!
Keep kicking butt at life Melissa!
I cannot wait to try this! I just need to get over my fear of sweet potatoes being too sugary…
Yes you do my friend
I want this right now! Looks so tasty, I will have to try it soon. Thanks, Juli.
Hope you like it!!
Looks legit!
It totes is.
If there is a sweet potato or hot sauce involved, I am there. Way to combine two of my favorite foods and somehow make it totally NOT repulsive! WIN!
Those two things could never be repulsive together!
This looks so amazing! Can’t wait to try it! Juli, I totally feel you about the Living Social and Groupon shizzzzz. I get like 8 emails a day, and some are from over an hour away, WTF? Scoundrels!
Omgosh, yummmmm!!! That looks MEAT-tastic!
Juli,
Good stuff. What about snacks that aren’t almonds?
Other than eating small main course meals I’m having a hard time finding things to eat between meals.
Thanks and keep it up. I’ll be cheering for you in regionals.
Yo mac ~ try carrying around beef jerky, boiled eggs, celery sticks stuffed w/ almond butter (put them together butter-to-butter side and stick ‘em in a plastic bag), a chicken drumstick . . . ok some of these won’t work if you don’t have a cooler or maybe a fridge at work, but these have worked for me.
haha I like the idea of just poppin out a drumstick during work at my desk.
who wouldn’t want to eat drumsticks as a snack. that sounds fantastic!
I’m new to paleo and have stumbled upon your site. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes. I’m very eager to start feeling better by eating the foods that don’t hurt my stomach all the time!!!
I also hate my feet. They are cracked from … well, LIFE..
Anyways, put coconut oil on your feet for the day. I do in the AM. They feel great.
PS, I love these blogs! Keep ‘em coming!
Just finished making this to take to work tomorrow. I was skeptical at first but had total faith in your amazing recipes. YUP this one did not disappoint! OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Now I am cooking the Pistachio-pesto-chicken for dinner. I have never enjoyed cooking as much as I do since finding your blog. I have been noshing on the no bake Apple pie for days now.
My husband greatly appreciates you :-)
Wow-that was a lot of delicious meat! The sweet potato/hot sauce combo was awesome! Very yummy and we had leftovers for lunch and dinner.
On a side note– I feel like a stalker because my hubby and I check your website 24/7 and feel like we know you. We always talk about how we would have a blast hanging out with you, but you don’t even know us. I just wanted to let you know that we are creepers and totally appreciate your blogging about paleo and crossfit–our two favorite things!
Looks like a good breakfast recipe! Just add a couple of eggs and you’ll be good to go.
this…looks…awesome!!!!!
dinner tonight (doing my dinner dance) yeah yeah yeah (doing my dinner song)
Yummy!! Making this right now!! However, after I cook the beef, do I pour off the grease or leave it in the dish???
Whatever u like better. I poured out a little
made some tonight but had different meat ingredients and i added an apple… not sure why, it just sounded good. it looks and smells delicous.. thanks for the awesome recipes.. My family thanks you for your awesome recipes. If not for these,they would not be eating :)
Once again, you are AMAZING! Love this recipe. I used 3 lbs of ground turkey and it came out wonderful.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I made this for my family tonight, forgetting that my wife hates buffalo sauce…oops. She loved it! All of us did. Actually my wife over ate, something she hasn’t done in months.
Great job. We love the site. You need to put on an event here in Denver. :)
Just made this. Soooo tasty!!!
Love your site. Makes paleo easy!
Made this for my husband today…totally loved it! Love your posts,keep it up!
I loved this…although I didn’t exactly follow the recipe exactly. I misread the ingredients and added butternut squash instead. AND I didn’t bake the hamburger, just browned it in a skillet, then added the ground turkey (didn’t have ground chicken), and I didn’t have garlic powder so I minced a couple of garlic cloves. AND I have two young children who do not like SPICY, so we just set the sauce on the table and my husband added it to his plate. So, it was a hit! My revision/mishap worked! Thank you for the recipe!
I made it twice now!! Yum!! The second time I only had chicken and sweet potatoes. I made it anyway and it was great and yummy even without the beef!! And really really quick!! Will make again tomorrow!! Thanks
I added mushrooms & leeks to my batch…OMG! I think this is my favorite so far! I’m going to try this with Paleo BBQ sauce for my next batch!
Great recipe! I made this last night and was very happy with the results. My husband liked it too. I’ll definitely be making this again.
P.S. I like your blog – funny posts and delicious/interesting/unique paleo friendly recipes! I recommend it to all the paleo people I know. :)
Favorite recipe so far!
I decided to add some bacon to the chicken mixture as well as onions and celery! YUUMMINESS!
Totally forgot to rate the recipe – ma bad!
OMG is right! I made this tonight and holy moly is it good! I tweaked it a bit. Used half the beef ( seemed like a lot ) and put an egg into the beef mixture to hold it all together. I will definatley be making this again. Thanks
eating this now. wow, that’s pretty tasty. i actually made the “crust” from 1# beef and 1# pork, b/c that’s what i had on hand. I also messed up and put the spices in the crust too… but a little extra spice sure didn’t hurt.
I made this for dinner last night and made 4 peeps (myself included) VERY happy! It was delish!! After the three men I was eating with had seconds, there was very little leftover (I thought we’d have leftovers for a few days). And what WAS left, was split up for lunches today. Keep rockin it sista! I LOVE everything about your site. Yes, everything. Especially when you say “holy balls”. Makes me giggle every time.
Made this with ground turkey bottom, ground turkey sausage top. Quite good. Who knew sweet potato and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce went well together? I look forward to doing this again per recipe.
I LOVE this!!! And my husband loves it too (which is a miracle because he is very anti Paleo foods). My favorite things all combined in a wonderful Paleo dish. Thank you for figuring this out and posting it!!
I have made this a few times now and it keeps getting better, probably because I add more hot sauce each time. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite paleo recipes ever!
Great dish! I forgot the onion powder :( Will need to use more spices and hot sauce next time.
First off – this was AWESOME!!!!! It got a 4 thumbs up from my husband and both of my kids!!! This is the second day of our lifestyle change! I threw out all the pasta, cereal, bread, etc. this morning much to my kids (and hubby’s) dismay! Last night’s meal was so-so but I came across your site and found this recipe. We haven’t gone ‘completely’ paleo at this point, as we still plan to use some dairy, but sparingly. I didn’t have ground chicken so I diced the chicken breasts into small chunks and we didn’t have sweet potatoes so I used a granny smith apple and it was amazing!!! The apple gave it an extra kick and I liked the diced chicken for a change in texture. I added chunks of mozzarella to the top very sparingly too – but honestly it wasn’t necessary. Like I said – we a totally new to this lifestyle – but this was awesome for my family!!! Thank you!
Just took this out of the oven. Looks and smells amazing. Can’t wait for dinner!
