Crock Pot Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili
Description
The recipe consists of diced onion and green bell pepper sautéed into a blend of drained black beans, diced tomatoes, and peeled, diced sweet potatoes. Seasoned with chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and optional cayenne pepper, the stew combines smoky, earthy, and mildly spicy notes. Chicken broth provides a flavorful cooking liquid.
Cooking on low in a crock pot for 4 to 5 hours allows the sweet potatoes to become tender while the ingredients meld together creating a thick chili. The vegetables and beans hold their shape but soften enough to create a comforting texture.
Typically served warm with toppings like sour cream, avocado, and cilantro, it can be enjoyed as a filling main dish. The chili stores well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 to 7 days.
