Sweet Potato Chili

By

Primal AviaryThis thick and hearty chili is slightly smoky and sweet, with a spice level that can be tailored to your taste. Borrowing a genius trick from our sweet potato pasta sauce recipe, thin strips of sweet potato are peeled into the chili. This is an easy way to add sweet potato to all sorts of dishes, as thin strips of sweet potato cook quickly and easily blend in with other ingredients.

With a simple list of ingredients and short simmering time, this chili is meant to be a convenient weeknight dinner. But do yourself a favor by cooking this recipe on the weekend, with plans to eat the chili for dinner later in the week. Chili is a meal that’s meant to be eaten as leftovers. It usually tastes better the second or third day, thickening up and becoming more flavorful.

If you’re feeding this chili to little kids or heat-averse adults, use bell peppers and omit the jalapeno. To crank up the spice level, use poblanos and 1 or more jalapeños (plus a jar of hot sauce on the table).

Servings: 6 to 8

Time in the Kitchen: 35 minutes, plus 30 minutes to simmer

Ingredients

Primal

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, red palm oil or other type of fat (30 ml)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 or 2 poblano peppers or bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, deveined and finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder (45 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (ideally, use Mexican oregano) (15 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin (10 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (5 ml)
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 pounds ground beef (900 g)
  • 1 pound ground pork (450 g)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (10 ml)
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (794 grams)
  • 1 cup bone broth (240 ml)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

Primal

In a large, wide pot over medium heat add 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, celery, poblano or bell pepper and jalapeno pepper. Saute until onion is soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic and sauté 1 minute more.

Add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook until meat is lightly browned, breaking the meat up into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt.

Peel the sweet potato and discard the skin. Then, continue using the vegetable peeler to peel the entire potato into thin strips.

Add sweet potato, tomatoes, bone broth, cinnamon stick and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes then remove the lid and simmer 10 minutes more. Stir occasionally.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
