Sweet Potato Chili

Ryan is pretty much obsessed with this recipe. You see, when we first started dating, he told me how he makes a really good chili. He was committed to being the maker of all chili in our house and I never complained. I enjoy his version of chili. But when I saw this Sweet Potato Chili on Andi’s blog, I knew we had to make it.

Our love of sweet potatoes is somewhat disturbing. We could eat sweet potato fries (or anything sweet potato for that matter) several times a week and not get bored so that’s how I knew this recipe would be a winner.

Our intention was to have a chili cook off and taste them side by side, but that never happened. After making this the first time, this is the only chili we’ve made since….I’d say I won 🙂

The best part of this recipe? It’s a set it & forget it kind! Aka, using your crockpot. I know you all love your crockpots. And if you don’t, then you are truly missing out. And kind of weird.

The second best part? Easily adaptable to be vegetarian/vegan! A winner for all indeed.
