3 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped in 2" chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 15 oz. can red kidney beans
2 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup water
layer ingredients in crockpot in the order listed. cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. the longer you cook the chili, the less chunky the sweet potatoes will be.
as featured in week two of environmom.com's meatless supper club. a great change of pace from the usual heavy, sit in the bottom of your stomach chili. i'm not usually a fan of kidney beans, but everything worked really well together. i topped my serving with a bit of sour cream just because that's how i like my chili. i was fine with just a large bowl of this as my meal, but i can definitely see a side of cornbread as a great alternative.
I am so going to try this recipe this week! It sounds fantastic.
