Amazing 3 Bean Sweet Potato Chili (Vegan)

This Sweet Potato Chili recipe is fantastic!  I cannot take credit though.  My husband Marcus created it.  He is the chili guy in the family.  Actually, up until recently, he was the cook too!

I have learned a great deal from him. 🙂  Also, I should mention, this sweet potato chili is super easy to make.  You just throw everything in a pot and cook.

It would probably be extra good slow cooked in the crock pot.

We brought this healthy chili to a family member’s house on Thanksgiving.  Everyone that tried it, loved it.   This recipe also makes a large amount so you can freeze some for those busy days.  I freeze it in serving sized containers.

Instructions

  • We use dried beans and just soak them overnight. Boil them for about 10 minutes in the morning. Makes for a much cleaner taste.
  • Take all the ingredients and throw them in a large pot.

  • For the last 1/2 hour cook uncovered and you can also add about a T of flour to thicken the sauce if needed. We used brown rice flour.

Recipe Notes

This makes a ton of chili. If you don’t eat it all, it should freeze nicely and then you will have a backup meal for a day when you don’t feel like cooking. This came out so well that we are probably going to make this for our family thanksgiving meal. After all, we are the weird vegans of the family.

  1. Looking forward to this meal! Question: two cups each of beans...is that 2 cups each of dry beans then cook, or two cups each of already cooked beans? And liquids or no liquids included? Thanks!
  2. I JUST made this! Threw all the ingredients in my crockpot! 2nd time for this recipe. Family loves it! Even my dad the 'carnivore'! Lol! Thanks for your grear, tasty ideas!
  3. My husband made this for me for Mother's Day and it's so good! Now I am looking forward to fall and winter. It will be nice and easy to freeze and thaw for a quick delicious, healthy meal. He also made the cornbread to go with it. Yum! As always, thank you so much for sharing!
  4. I have made this several times and it has become a regular in my family meals. It is delicious and simple. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
  5. You said you soaked the beans overnight then boiled them for a few minutes in the morning. Did you drain and use fresh water or did you boil in the same water? Also, then I assume you would drain and rinse them so they are nice and fresh for the recipe? Sorry, lol
    1. If you plan to cook the beans for a for 8 hours in the crock pot, you just need to soak overnight, drain and then throw it in the pot. If you plan on only cooking the chili a couple hours, you will need to soak overnight, drain the water and boil until soft in new water the next morning before using them in this recipe.
      1. I am really excited to try this recipe! I have my beans soaking now. Would I be able to throw the freshly soaked beans and all the other ingredients in the crockpot in the morning and cook for 8 hours, or would I want to just cook the beans (either for 8 hours in the crock or 10 minutes in a pot), then add the other ingredients.? Sorry for my ignorance. I would be lost without you, Melissa (and hungry!)!
  6. This recipe looks amazing! I'm wondering if this would turn out good using canned beans or if you would mostly recommend using soaked dried beans? If you do use canned beans, I imagina that I would need to add them to the crock pot much later on in the cooking process? Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it!
