One of the most filling dishes during a Whole 30 for us, is a delicious stuffed potato. Whether it’s a regular potato or a sweet one you can never go wrong dressing it up a bit with some chicken, beef or pork, adding a Whole 30-compliant sauce and going to town. This Whole 30 BBQ Pork Stuffed Sweet Potato dish is definitely a dish that you will want to add to your weekly dinners for your family. Not only is this dish super easy to make, it’s also super quick, because you do it in your Instant Pot. If you do not have an Instant Pot, no worries, I have also included instructions for creating this recipe in a Slow Cooker. This dish includes my Whole 30 compliant BBQ Sauce that we made last week, and you are able to find that post here. This sweet potato dish is not just filling it also fills that sweet and savory craving that you may get at the first couple days of your Whole 30. I hope you enjoy this recipe and as always if you try it, please comment below and tell me what you think.
