This will be your new favorite recipe ✨🍔

Hi loves, you are going to be obsessed with this one. I’ve made it multiple times this month, and every time, it hits just right—packed with flavor, nutrients, and the perfect balance of textures. If you’re looking for a meal that’s satisfying, nourishing, and hits that 30 grams of protein / 10 grams of fiber sweet spot, this is it.

Let’s talk about Black Bean & Beef Sliders with Japanese Sweet Potato Buns.

This recipe brings together everything you need for a balanced, nutrient-dense meal. The beef gives you high-quality protein, while the black beans add extra fiber and texture. Instead of a regular bun, we’re using roasted Japanese sweet potato slices, which not only make these sliders more grounding and wholesome but also add a hint of natural sweetness that complements the savory elements perfectly.

The best part? These sliders are so easy to customize. I love topping them with smashed avocado, a little ketchup, and fresh arugula. Whether you’re making them for a quick weeknight dinner, meal prepping for the week, or just craving a cozy, nutrient-dense meal that actually keeps you full, this one delivers. Let’s get into it—you’re going to love them.
