We are getting into the winter months now and we all love a good chili when it is freezing out, while we are watching football, or just to freeze and have on hand for an easy meal. Chili can be odd without beans if you are eating Whole30, Paleo, or just avoiding beans. With all the starchy potatoes, you won't even miss the beans in this one! Sweet Potato Chili is hearty, comforting and most of all delicious for all those winter days coming!
One thing I love during a Whole30 (or anytime) is being able to make a large pot of something that I can use for multiple meals throughout the week. That is exactly what I do with this Sweet Potato Chili. It makes a great dinner, of course. However, it goes great on top of eggs, in a breakfast bowl, on top of a taco bowl for lunch, and whatever else you can think of! It also freezes great so you can make a double so to stick it in the freezer for an easy meal on another day.
Tips for Sweet Potato Chili:
- Use any meat you like- I really like ground turkey, but pork, beef, or chicken would go just fine!
- If you can't find white sweet potatoes, regular sweet potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes or even regular potatoes would be delicious too!
- I use mild Rotel so that it isn't too spicy, but you can use hot or even add more jalapenos to make it extra spicy if that is what you like.
- If you are doing a Whole30, avocado goes well in this for your plated fat.
- One of my favorite things to do is add bone broth to this chili to make it really gut friendly! I love Fond Bone Broth's flavor Conductor for this recipe. Use the code ALTITUDE for 20% off your first order.
