1	can	(14.5 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1		plum tomato, cored and chopped

In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add 2 tsp salt and bring to a simmer. Cook until very soft, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Return potatoes to the saucepan and add 2 Tbs coconut oil, coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and the cayenne. Mash until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Preheat oven to 425. In a large skillet, melt the remaining coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the cumin, cinnamon, and beef and cook, stirring until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

Stir in the black beans, tomato, tomato paste, and honey and season with 3/4 tsp salt and the pepper. Cook 5 minutes longer and spread into a casserole dish. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes over the top of the beef. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are browned on top and the filling is bubbling--about 30 minutes.
