Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili

/

Craving a warm, spiced, filling bowl of food for dinner? Throw these ingredients in a pot after work tonight and enjoy a steaming bowl of chili in under an hour. It tastes even better after the flavors meld together, so you can enjoy all week for dinner!

I can never eat all of the servings of chili in time, so I freeze some of the portions in a muffin pan like this one for an easy way to reheat my frozen leftovers!
