Great start on a Sunday morning when you know you won’t feel like cookin’ on Sunday evening! The sweet potatoes add a punch of flavor but can be excluded if you prefer. Chili is a dumping ground for your fridge…if you’ve got some carrots, zucchini or most any other vegetable that has seen better days …throw them in the pot! For those of you who like to cook using exact recipe’s this one will work without any changes every time. Basic, flavorful and feeds about 8. I served it with the left over Cheddar Chive Scones…perfect!
