Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 medium sweet potato cubed
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper any color, diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 15.5 ounces kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 2 tablespoon chipotle sauce
Instructions
- Place ground beef in a large stock pot set over medium-high heat. Cook the beef for 5-7 minutes, until it’s no longer pink. Drain all but about 1 tablespoon of excess fat and return the pot to the heat.
- Add in the sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook for 5-7 more minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened.
- Next, stir in tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes.
- Add in tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chipotle peppers, and chipotle sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens and flavors come together.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding water or beef broth to thin it out if desired. Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese if desired.
