Sweetpotato Chili

Recipe Developed by Tessa Nguyen, RD, LDN in partnership with NCSPC
This heartwarming chili is made with a variety of beans and sweetpotatoes before being simmered in spiced and diced tomatoes. This is a crowd-pleaser as it’s budget-friendly, readily whipped up in a slow-cooker and can be easily made vegan-friendly by omitting the beef.
