Vegetarian Sweet Potato Chili

   Meatless Monday's got you feeling moody over no meat? Worry not, this vegetarian chili recipe packs a healthy fiber and protein punch that will last you right into Tuesday. This recipe is my go to favorite during a busy week as I can just throw it into the Crock Pot and let that baby work it's slow cooking magic. I typically make it with shredded chicken, but in favor of meatless Monday's and an overall want for eating less meat in general, I decided to use some starchy organic sweet potatoes instead. And once again, my taste buds knew they had another tasty meal coming their way.

   In this recipe you will find that it incorporates what every good chili recipe has: HEAT. This chili is not for you bland boring types. I always kick things up a notch with cayenne, red pepper flakes, and chili powder in nasal passage clearing doses. So if you can't handle the heat, don't bother making this recipe as I can't vouch for the flavor otherwise. However I can guarantee that you won't miss the meat with this recipe. You may even like it a whole lot better.
