Fall Harvest Crockpot Chili

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb ground beef
• 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 7.5 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
• 7.5 oz pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 28 oz diced tomatoes
• 1 cups yellow onion, diced
• 2 tbsp jalapeños, seeded and minced
• 2 tbsp chili-lime seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles

Instructions

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked, then drain the excess fat.
2. Place the cooked beef, diced sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes, onion, and minced jalapeños into the crockpot.
3. Stir in the chili-lime seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes with green chiles until well combined.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or chili-lime seasoning if desired.
6. Serve hot in bowls, optionally topped with sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro.

Notes

For a deeper flavor profile, sauté your onions and jalapeños with the beef before adding them to the slow cooker. If you prefer a thicker chili, mash a few of the sweet potato chunks against the side of the pot before serving.
