We LOVE serving chili over baked sweet potatoes, so it only made sense to turn this into a one-pot dish. Unless you throw on a dollop of sour cream and cheddar, this meal is entirely vegan. Serve with a side of our sweet and spicy Skillet Cornbread.
Ingredients
2TbspVegetable oil
1Red oniondiced
1Green bell pepperdiced
6Garlic clovespeeled

1lbSweet potatoespeeled and diced
1lbDried black or red beansif using cooked or canned beans, cut cooking time down by half
28ozcan Diced tomatoes
12ozjar Red peppers
8cupVegetable broth
Instructions
Heat the oil in the largest pot you've got. Toss in your onions and sweat them. Add the bell pepper, garlic cloves and corn (if not in season, it's best to use frozen corn or leave it out all together). Toss every so often until you get a little color on the corn. Add the remaining ingredients and cover. Cook over medium low heat until the beans are cooked and sweet potatoes are tender to a fork (about 1 to 1-1/5 hours).
While still in the pot, mash about 1/4 of the sweet potatoes. Serve with anything you like, but a nice, piping hot and fresh cornbread is our favorite.
Slow cooker version: Toss all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook for 7-8 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning.
