Sweet Potato Chorizo Chili

It is embarrassing how long it has been since I have posted anything. Consistency apparently escapes me. But last weekend we had a lovely time with family, and have a few fun meals we've made. First up: Sweet Potato Chorizo Chili.

I tend to like any meal I can cook in the crock pot, particularly on weeknights. So this was no exception: prepped the day before, turned the crock pot on low before I headed to work, and it was done by the time I got home!

Cast of characters:
-3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
-1 large can diced tomatoes
-Pinto and Black beans (I used canned this time)
-1 large white onion, diced
-4 cups vegetable broth
-1 pound chorizo, cooked
-1 green pepper, diced 
-Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste - I added 1.5 tsp. of cinnamon, and just a dash of nutmeg.

-Cilantro, yogurt, and cheese for serving 

All of the ingredients ended up in the crock pot all day, except for the chorizo, which we added right at the end.

And I didn't take photos like I should have of the chili, but here's a few other photos from the weekend:

Hope you all are enjoying this lovely fall weekend!
