Equipment

  • Slow cooker or crockpot

Ingredients

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced (or 1-2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1 15 oz jar of Basil Tomato Sauce (Aldis Brand)
  • 2 15 oz cans of Tri-Bean Blend (Kroger's Brand)
  • 2 bell peppers, any color
  • 1/4-1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp HealthBites chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt or salt substitute

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a crockpot or slow cooker except for the tomato paste and the seasonings. If you add the seasonings right away, most of their flavr will be dissipated by the time the chili is fully cooked.
  • Cook this mixture on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
  • When the sweet potatoes are fully softened, add the tomato paste and mix well. This will help thicken the chili.
  • Then add the seasonings; turn down the heat and let it cook for an additional 15 minutes.
