Since I love chili and I love sweet potatoes! And since my traditional chili is not Whole30 compliant (beans). I went in search for a new recipe. And found this great one from tastesoflizzyt.com
I did make a few tweaks, based on what I know I like. But not much, And it was good! I cooked it in the crockpot.

*I bought cubed sweet potatoes in Targets produce section. Made this super easy to throw together
