How to make chili with sweet potatoes
Start by dicing up your veggies. You’ll want to chop your green bell pepper, onion, and sweet potatoes.
On the stove, sauté the beef, bell pepper, onions, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the ground beef is brown & crumbly. Drain any fat and transfer entire mixture to a large (5-7 quart) slow cooker.
Next, you’ll stir in your sweet potatoes, two cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
(Note: if all you have on hand are regular diced tomatoes, you can use those! The fire-roasted give add a little smoky flavor to the dish, but don’t stress over running to the grocery store.)
Put the lid on and let your slow cooker work it’s magic on low for six hours.
Top each serving with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. (P.S. this is another ingredient you can use what you have! The Monterey Jack gives a little tang but it this dish is SO yummy either way – feel free to use mozzarella, cheddar, etc.)
