#GlutenFree Sweet Potato Bacon Beet Salsa for #SundaySupper


So I am always looking for new and creative ideas ideas for new meals and side dishes. Plus at the same time not break the bank when it comes to cooking. So the other night I made my fabulous Salmon in a envelope however this time I served it on a bed of rice with this fabulous warm Sweet Potato Bacon Beet Salsa. This is a great recipe to serve to your kids. My daughter thought the sweet potatoes were carrots and that I had cooked them with some sort of candy.

Sweet Potato Bacon Beet Salsa Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato or yam
3 pieces of apple wood bacon
4 to 5 whole beets that have been cooked and peeled ( I buy the precooked ones at Trader Joe's)

In a large frying pan cook bacon until golden then remove bacon and set  aside. Do not remove grease!
Chop and peel a large sweet potato or yam in nickle size chinks place inside pan and cover so it will steam to for about 5 minutes. When golden brown on both sides add Beets that are also chopped into nickle  size cubes.



Next stir and cover for about 5 min.

Crumble Bacon and fold into mixture


Serve over Rice with Salmon or Grilled chicken you decide.






How will you serve your Sweet Potato Bacon Beet Salsa ?
