Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chili

Heat oil in large pot with onion and saute until start to turn clear.  Add peppers, chili powder and sea salt.  When softened but not mushy  throw in garlic for 30 seconds.  Add water, sweet potato, tomato paste, tomatoes, beans, bouillon, and cinnamon.  Cook until yams are done.  Enjoy the healthy deliciousness!

    • I wasn’t sure about the cinnamon. As I was stirring it, drooling over the sweet potatoes I kept thinking I wanted to add cinnamon. Did people do that? Would I ruin the entire pot? Tried it and was SO HAPPY I did!

    • Spaghetti? Really? I’ve eaten a lot of weird stuff (ask Amanda, she’ll confirm) but chili on spaghetti noodles is a bit of a stretch for me. How was it?!
