3. Assemble
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spread the meat mixture into a baking dish.
3. Spoon the mashed sweet potato on top and smooth with a spatula.
4. Use a fork to create little “ridges” on the potatoes — they get golden brown.

4. Bake
Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving so it sets.
