Up next for my menu for the Big Game is a hearty, tasty and healthy sweet potato and black bean hash topped with a simple guacamole for breakfast to ensure that you start the day off right! (Although I will be making this for the big game it is perfect any time of the year!) This hash is super simple to make, it starts with bacon (omit for vegetarian), followed by onions, garlic, cumin, chipotle chili powder, the sweet potatoes and finally the black beans before being topped with a simple guacamole. The key to a quick cooking time is to dice the sweet potatoes small as the larger the sweet potato cubes are the longer it will take to cook them until tender. I like to keep things simple and go with an avocado topping with lime juice and salt but if you want something a little more complex you can go with a more robust guacamole. Of course pretty much everything is better when topped with a fried egg so I like throw some on as well and that gives me a trio of my favourite foods: bacon, eggs and avocado all on a tasty bed of sweet potato and black bean hash! Feel free to add any other extras like sour cream, salsa, cheese, etc.
The gratuitous runny egg yolk shot!
You can make it all in one large pan and serve it out on plates or you can get all of the ingredients ready one day and then cook individual servings in a smaller pan and serve it in the pans.
Another gratuitous runny egg yolk shot!

Yes, yes, yes! This looks like comfort food at its best.
Loved this recipe! I did make a couple of modifications. I roasted the sweet potato in the oven and then crisped it up at the end in the fry pan. More hands off if you are entertaining and try to watch the game! I also cut back the chipotle by about half and it was still plenty spicy. Thanks for the great brunch recipe it was a big hit!
