  • Author: Allison Olivia
  • Yield: 5 servings 1x

Description

Everyone loves a good warm bowl of chili, and this is a great version of it. Healthy, hearty, and customizable to your food needs!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 bell peppers, chopped 
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, not drained
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper and cook with the lid on for 5 minutes or until they are soft.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook for 45 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender enough to stick a fork through.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

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
