Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a deep soup pot and then add ground beef to it. Cook ground beef thoroughly in a large pot, until no longer pink.
- Add onion and bell pepper and cook with the lid on for 5 minutes or until they are soft.
- Add sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, garlic, spices, broth, and salt and pepper. Stir well. Cover and reduce heat to low or a slight simmer. Keep the lid on.

Notes
You can substitute ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or whatever protein you would like!
You can always omit the red pepper flakes if you don’t like spicy
If you’re not on the Whole 30, add a can of black beans for extra protein. Add it at the very end though when the chili is done so beans don’t get mushy.
You can swap out vegetable broth for chicken or beef broth
The smaller you cut the sweet potatoes, the faster the chili will be ready. If the chunks are large, they will take longer to cook.
Omit meat completely if you want to make it vegetarian
