Slow Cooker Black Bean Sweet Potato Chili

Want a healthy easy and fresh way to make chili? Try this slow cooker version featuring Black Beans and Sweet Potatoes. Let this chili simmer and marinate all day long. The aroma wafting from your kitchen will drive your family crazy! You can even start your cooker the night before on low. The longer it cooks, the thicker it gets. I didn’t drain the beans before I added them and felt it was a bit to watery. Next time I will drain them. Let me know what you find when you make this chili. We topped our servings with some grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Rosemary infused marmalade gives great flavor to pretty sweet potatoes, zucchini and pork. These are delicious! I used onion & garlic marinated pork and added sweet onion pieces and green, red & yellow bell pepper pieces to the kabobs. The marinade tastes wonderful. These kabobs were a real kid-pleaser.

      I use my slow cooker in place of my oven a lot!! It doesn’t heat up my kitchen and cleanup is a breeze when using the crock pot liners. Enjoy!

    This sounds delicious! I often cook black beans in the slow cooker but I’ve never used sweet potatoes with them. Will be trying this soon. Thank you for sharing at this week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home blog hop!

    Mmmm. I’m always trying to find ways to get my kids to eat more sweet potatoes (because I just love them). Maybe this will work? Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!

      It worked for me! I am not much on many kinds of potatoes, even french fries. The Lord knows I don’t need any more carbs. But in this chili they are delicious. And the smell is so good, the kids will want to see it! Have a great week!

    Yes, PLEASE! I am absolutely making this next week. I especially love the fact that everything just gets dumped in the pot and cooked…none of this, “please do 16 steps that take 3 hours before you let your slow-cooker do ‘all’ the work” business. 😉 Thanks, Marilyn…stopping by from #WonderfulWednesday!

      You are going to love this Elizabeth!. My best recipes are tear open whatever, stir, and serve. I rarely do anything more involved anymore unless it is a special occasion. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

      I hadn’t either and never would have thought to do it had I not seen the recipe. I am going to make my next stew with sweet potatoes instead of baby reds and see how that tastes!!
