Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and poke a few holes in each of them with a fork.
4 large sweet potatoes
Bake for 50-70 minutes until they're soft all the way through.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, brown the ground beef, diced onion, garlic, spices, and salt in a skillet.
1 pound ground beef, 1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt + more to taste sprinkled on sweet potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
When the sweet potatoes are done, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Make a deep lengthwise cut into each of the potatoes. Place a tablespoon of coconut oil and a sprinkle of salt to taste in each one and mash with a fork, keeping the skin intact.
1/4 cup coconut oil
Divide the ground beef between the potatoes and sprinkle the cheese on top.
1 cup cheddar cheese
Place the potatoes back in the oven for 10 minutes for the cheese to melt and the beef to get hot again if it has cooled. Enjoy!
