  • 2 large sweet potatoes cubed
  • 2 14.5 oz cans Dei Fratelli petit diced tomatoes with onion celery, and peppers
  • 1 15 oz can Dei Fratelli Sloppy Joe sauce
  • 3/4 cup diced onion I use the frozen kind.
  • 4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Place sweet potatoes, canned tomatoes, sloppy joe sauce, garlic, onion, and spices in a large stock pot. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours, stirring frequently.
  2. Brown ground chicken and drain.
  3. Add ground meat and black beans to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 1 more hour.
  4. Stir in cilantro and serve.

Recipe Notes

If you want a milder chili, add the spices toward the end of the cooking time, and omit the cilantro.
