Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili

If you like warm, delicious comfort food that is also super nutritious, this Veggie Based Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili is for you!

Jam packed with creamy sweet potatoes, black beans and plenty of onions, peppers, and garlic this chili will both comfort and fuel you all at the same time.

I like to make this chili on the weekend and then repurpose it into different meals during the week.  It’s great stuffed into tacos, spooned on top of a salad, or simply packed into a thermos to bring for lunch.
