Sweet Potato Chili
Now that we are in the thick of Autumn I am beginning to crave heartier meals for dinner. One of my favourite cold weather meals is Chili. There is nothing better than a big steamy bowl of spicy chili to warm you from the inside out. The sweet potato chunks in this recipe add a nice touch of fall to create a new family favourite.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (roughly 1″)
2 cloves garlic, minced
19 oz can kidney beans
2x 28 oz can diced tomatoes (Do not drain)
Directions:
Brown Ground Beef in Large Stock Pot with onions. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Turn down low and cover. Allow to Simmer, covered, for 2-3 hours (or more) stirring occasionally.
If you have a (large) slow cooker you can throw all the ingredients in at once and cook on low for 10 hours.
Serves: 6

I love sweet potatoe and this sure looks delicious!
I bookmarked so I can try soon. I’ll let ya know what I thought.
This is an unusual recipes, but would make for a great winter treat.
Kind of odd combination as I have never seen it before. The more I think about it I like it! Going to try and make it
I never thought to put sweet potatoes with chili, but the sweetness must taste so good with it!
You know, I thought it would make it a little sweeter but instead it seems to just make it thicker and heartier. Even a big chunk of sweet potato in it just tastes like the spices. Perhaps cutting the spices in half would make a difference, but I like spicy chili so… 🙂
Either way it is super yummy and goes fast in my house!
this looks so delicious I am going to make this on the weekend
