Summer is over and the cold weather is here. Chili is one of my all time favorite meals to have when it is a chilly, brisk day. Chili is extremely versatile and there are many variations of chili you can make like; beef chili, turkey chili, chicken chili, three bean chili, vegetarian chili, etc. The options are truly endless!

Recently, I have loved making a meatless dinner once a week and my Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili is a great meatless option. This chili is hearty, comforting and filled with complex flavors and textures. The sweet potatoes add a subtle sweetness, the black beans add hearty texture and the mixture of spices round everything out. Better yet, it is completely vegetarian and vegan (if you sub a few toppings)!

My Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili is a simple one pot meal that you can prep in advance or not; whatever makes your life easier! Unlike most chilis, I think you will be surprised how fast this comes together; no crock pot needed! Instead, grab your dutch oven and get cooking!
