SLOW COOKER SPICY SWEET POTATO CHILI

Slow Cooker Spicy Sweet Potato Chili image

While this recipe contains no meat, it still has plenty of protein-plus vitamins and minerals. I love sweet potatoes, and they're even better mixed with black beans. Serve the chili with crackers or even spooned into tortilla shells (yes, I made sweet potato tacos out of this). -Jennifer Butz, Atlanta, Georgia
