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.

Buffalo Chicken and Sweet Potato Meatza
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 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
- 1/4 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
Instructions
- 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!
