I found a recipe for this chili and changed it a bit to make it my own. I took a chance and made this for a family pot luck and it was a huge hit!
So many have been asking, so here it is!
The most delicious chili ever! And ridiculously healthy too! Even the men in my family LOVED it!
Serves A LOT :) I am pretty sure this made about a gallon. Literally. It freezes amazingly for quick meals too.
Ingredients Needed:
* 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
*1 medium onion- minced (or dehydrated if you prefer- about 1/2 cup)
*3 medium sized sweet potatos, cubed
*5 cloves garlic, or 2 Tbs minced garlic
*2.5 Tbs Chili Powder
*2 tsp Cumin
*3/4 tsp Paprika or Ground Chipotle Chili
*1/2 tsp salt
*3.5 cups low sodium stock or water
* 3 cups/cans diced tomatoes (I puree this for the kids sake)
3 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
* 3 tsp fresh lime juice
* 3 Tbs fresh chopped cilantro
Rinse black beans and cube sweet potatoes
Heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sweet potatoes. Stir often until onion softens (about 4-5 minutes).
Add Garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt.
Stir constantly until fragrant(doesn't take long!) Add in the stock, bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Add in tomatoes, and beans.
Now the fun part, I let this simmer on a lower temp, covered but with a tiny bit open for about an hour....
It really only needs about 30 minutes total simmer time from the time the potatoes are added. But I prefer to let it marinade :)

Is your house smelling so good you have a line of neighbors outside your door yet? My daughter was hanging around the kitchen continually asking "when dinner?"
Add in the lime and cilantro about 15 minutes before serving.
And there you have it! A super healthy, deliciously fragrant dinner with minimal effort!
