    Sweet Potato Chili is a meatless chili, filled with veggies, that's perfect for a crowd. It also tastes great as leftovers and freezes well.

    This Sweet Potato Chili is a great meatless recipe that's perfect for Friday of Lent. Or for a Meatless Monday.

    Or if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Or if you're looking for a really inexpensive meal. Or to celebrate the fact that February is National Potato Month.

    Really, this chili is just good for whenever!

    It makes a lot {makes about 10 cups of chili} and leftovers are even better. The sweet potato chili can also easily be frozen.

    Some other things to know about this recipe:

    The potatoes take a while to cook. I recommend precooking them in the microwave for about 3 minutes before chopping them & adding them to chili. It can take up to 2 hours for them to soften.

    Resist the temptation to add more chipotle chile peppers. Two makes it really spicy. Use one for less spicy, but I definitely wouldn't use more than two!

    If you feel like the chili is getting too thick, feel free to add a cup or so of water. I think I added about 2 extra cups while it was cooking.
