Hot Honey Beef Bowls

Hot Honey Beef Bowls: Sweet-Spicy Comfort, CaliBowl-Style

Some bowls have swagger — sweet roasted sweet potatoes, spicy taco-seasoned beef, creamy cottage cheese, and a drizzle of hot honey that turns them into something next-level. This Hot Honey Beef Bowl hits all of that: warm, savory, a little sweet, and a whole lot of satisfying.

It’s a dinner that feels indulgent but balanced — the kind of meal you want after a busy day that still tastes like you treated yourself. And when you build it in your CaliBowl, everything stays where it belongs — no spills, no mess, just bold flavor made smarter.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

Sweet Potato Base

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled + diced
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Taco-Spiced Beef

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1–2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt + pepper, to taste
• (Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil if needed)

Bowl Toppings

• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• ½–1 cup cottage cheese
• Hot honey, for drizzling
• Extra red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
   1. Preheat your oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
   2.  Spread them out on a sheet pan and roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re lightly crisp on the outside and tender inside.
2. Cook the Beef
   1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
   2. Add the taco seasoning, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt + pepper.
   3. Stir to combine and let it heat through for 6–8 minutes.
   4. If it seems dry, add a splash of water so the seasoning coats the beef evenly.
3. Prep Your Toppings
   1. Slice the avocado. Measure out the cottage cheese. Get your hot honey ready for drizzling.
4. Build the Bowls
   1. In your CaliBowl, layer — first a good scoop of roasted sweet potatoes, a generous portion of taco-seasoned beef, followed by a dollop of cottage cheese and sliced avocado.
5. Finish & Serve
   1. Drizzle hot honey over the top, sprinkle a bit of red pepper flakes if you want more heat, and serve while everything’s warm.
