Have a great trip to EI! We will miss you, but no one will miss you as much as I am. I'll be left with nothing but to have Keebler cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner...I may have a nightmare tonight myself 🙁

Easy and tasty. I drained and rinsed my beans so I needed to add vegetable broth.

What a healthy yet delicious-looking recipe.
Tammy
We love this recipe, but feel like we are missing something in the preparation. The sweet potatoes take much longer than 10-15 minutes to cook. Are we supposed to pre-cook or roast them before hand? We have just been leaving it to cook on the stove on low until the potatoes get soft, but my husband thinks the beans get too soft.
Vicky & Ruth
Hi Tammy, thank you for your question. Maybe you are cutting the sweet potatoes too big and that's why they are not cooking. You may want to add them to the chili earlier, when you add the bean. Let us know how that works out.
