While in the past I’ve posted recipes for some hearty, meaty chili, sometimes I like to freshen it up with a pot full of veggies. It’s extra healthy but still has the delicious chili spices that we love to smell simmering on a Sunday afternoon.
There are lots of recipes floating around for vegan chili, and this has been a combination of my favorites. I use sweet potato instead of meat, so it provides a hearty base. And it’s packed with nutrients!
If you’re not actually vegan, like me, it is also excellent topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream! (I know, a vegan nightmare!) 😉
