Sweet Potato Chili

The temperatures are dropping and “baby it’s cold outside”, but there’s always one sure thing that will heat up your bones – chili. Chili is warm, delicious and can surprisingly be pretty healthy depending on what you put in it, but my favorite thing about it is the possibilities are endless. Traditional, white chicken, Thai, Texas…I mean, there are so many ways to make chili, but one of my all-time favorites is sweet potato chili. Sweet potato chili is easy to make and it’s always a crowd favorite. Just follow the directions below!
