We are getting into the winter months now and we all love a good chili when it's freezing out, while watching football, or just to freeze and have on hand for an easy meal. My Sweet Potato Chili is hearty, comforting and most of all delicious for all those winter days coming!
There's no beans in this one, so it's perfect if you're eating Whole30 or Paleo. And while chili can be odd without beans, with all the starchy potatoes, you won't even miss them in this one!
One thing I love during a Whole30 (or anytime) is being able to make a large pot of something 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 but is also delicious on top of eggs, in a breakfast bowl, on top of a taco bowl for lunch, or 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 work 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 Rotel's canned mild diced tomatoes so that it isn't too spicy, but you can use hot or even add more jalapeños to make it extra spicy if you like.
- If you're 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.
