Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables, but they can take sooo long to cook.
I’m not about to spend an hour prepping vegetables when I have a cranky baby who is getting near his bedtime!
Once I discovered this trick to making sweet potatoes in just 20 minutes (!!!) I was hooked.
No microwaving, and no prep work except peeling and chopping.
Just dice it up, toss with some oil and spices and it goes straight in the oven!
I love the crispy edges that the sweet potatoes get!
I also used my 5 minute Refried Beans for this recipe because they are just so darn tasty and so easy to make.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, you will make the refried beans and the cheese sauce.
I’ve never made cheese sauce for nachos before this and I’m not sure why!
This nacho cheese sauce is simple and literally done in 5 minutes. Now that’s what I’m talking about!
It tastes like the cheese sauce you would get at a concessions stand. This would be a great recipe to make for game day!
Robbie requested it for football season, it is SO SO good.
Even Crosby loved the pieces of sweet potato that he ate covered in cheese!
At one point he was licking queso from a bowl. Now that’s the right way to live!
