Well payday is two days away which means I am yet again scavenging together the food I have left to feed myself. I didn't think eating sweet potatoes stuffed with bacon and blueberries would ever be something I'd eat, but I suppose it's better than Ramen noodles from 2009 that are still in the pantry....
Simple here:
5 strips of bacon (Discretionary to your love of bacon)
1/2 cup of blueberries
2 baby yams
1 egg
Preheat the oven at 400 degrees
Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, keeping the skins on and placing the cut part face down on a cookie sheet. Keep those suckers in there for about a half hour (or until the potatoes are cooked through).
About halfway through, I began cooking the bacon. Towards the end, I tossed the blueberries in the pan with the the bacon and let it finish cooking thoroughly.
Take the sweet potatoes out to cool for five minutes or so.
Next, drain the bacon fat out of the pan and put your bacon and berries in a bowl with one whisked egg and stir. (I added some pepper for some extra flavor, again DIY)
Now, take a spoon and core out most of the potato and set aside, or do what I did and shovel that in as an appetizer as you go.
Add your bacon n berry egg mixture to the inside of the potatoes and cook again at 400 degrees for another ten minutes.
I suppose the salty bacon mixing with the sweet blueberries makes this dish good. You can probably do a berry medley with whatever meats you prefer.
Chow down.
