Notes
you can find the oven bag in any grocery stores in the kitchen wrapping paper section or in the baking section, they have small big and medium size I usually like to buy the medium that can do 4 servings . but adjust as you needs require.
you can mix and match with the ingredients but I really recommend sticking with the sweet potato because it goes great with the beef.
you can bake a big batch and store in the fridge for days up to 4 days.
