Sweet Potato Chili

Author: The Allergy Free Family

Ingredients:

2 lbs grass-fed beef

1 large yellow onion – diced

4 cups navy beans*

3 1/2 cups tomato sauce or puree

2 cups chicken broth

3 cloves of garlic – minced

2 tsp of salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro

3 cups sweet potatoes – finely diced

This makes 16 cups, so cut recipe in half for a smaller batch.

Instructions:

Brown beef in a large stock pot. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the cilantro. Cook on a low simmer for around 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add the chopped cilantro and simmer another 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings!

*Notes:

Canned navy beans can be used or sprouted navy beans. Just make sure to cook the sprouted beans first. Using sprouted beans help reduce the anti-nutrients like phytic acid and lectins that legumes naturally carry. Here’s a great article explaining why it’s important to sprout beans first.
