Description
A hearty and comforting Crockpot Beef Sweet Potato Chili, perfect for chilly evenings and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g ground beef
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 400 g)
- 1 can (400 g) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (400 g) diced tomatoes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 500 ml beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set it aside.
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
- In your crockpot, add the browned beef, sweet potatoes, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chili is ready when the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Notes
- For a leaner option, use ground turkey instead of beef.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with lentils or more beans.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, warm it on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
- For a thicker chili, mash some of the sweet potatoes against the side of the crockpot.
