Spring seems to be slow to arrive here in Northern California this year, so there is still plenty of time for hearty Beef and Sweet Potato Chili.
It is sure to satisfy your desire for chili, but without beans. Its perfect for your Whole30 or Paleo lifestyle and is also enjoyed by those who have never heard of Paleo!
Here is what I did:
Beef and Sweet Potato Chili
Ingredients
1 red onion, peeled and quartered
16 fresh or frozen tomatoes (or 2 32 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes)
1 Tablespoon of chopped chilis in adobo
2 Tablespoons of chili powder
2 Teaspoons cumin
2 dried guajilla chilis
4 cups water
3 lbs ground beef (I used 2 lbs beef, 1 lb ground lamb)
1 Tablespoon pink salt
2 Teaspoons fresh ground pepper
1 red onion, diced
1 large sweet potato (I used an orange Yam)
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
3 bell peppers, large dice (I used one yellow, one red, and one orange)
Instructions
Place first seven ingredients into a Dutch oven and simmer for an hour or so.
Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
In a separate pan, saute the ground beef, salt and pepper with the diced onion and peppers until the meat is cooked through.
Add meat, veggies, cilantro and sweet potatoes to the tomato mixture and simmer for 30 minutes or so and serve!
Blessings,
