Microwave Option
3
Prick each sweet potato surface with a fork all over, and wrap sweet potatoes with paper towel (2 paper towel sheets per sweet potato should be enough). Microwave 1 sweet potato at a time on high for ⏱️ 8 minutes or until cooked through. (If not cooked all the way in the centre, microwave in ⏱️ 1 minute increments until fully cooked inside).

Preheat oven to 200C | 410F. Place sweet potatoes on a lightly sprayed (with cooking oil) baking tray, cover with foil and place in the oven for about an hour, or until sweet potatoes are fully cooked in the centre (test with a fork).

Slice sweet potatoes horizontally to open, and allow them to cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. Leave an inch of layer of sweet potato flesh on the skin so the potatoes can withhold the filling. Reserve the filling to add into the sauce.

Bolognese Sauce:
9
In a medium - large sized pan, fry onion, garlic, carrot and zucchini on medium heat until onion is transparent. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Add the beef and cook stirring, while breaking up the mince. Once meat is browned, add the condensed soup (or sauce of choice) and vegetable stock powder, and cook until sauce begins to thicken and ingredients are soft. (Pour in 1/4 cup water if sauce is too thick). Add the reserved sweet potato flesh and mix into the sauce.
