sweet potato chili ~ slow cooker


this recipe comes from a wonderful blog, "can you stay for dinner" which is full of beautiful photography, wonderful recipes and the blog author has an incredible story about weight loss and weight maintenance that she chooses to share with the world.  i'm grateful for folks like her.

real quick, i made a couple minor changes from the original recipe such as browning the meat and cooking the onions before throwing everything into the pot.  i'm sure either way, the chili won't disappoint, i just like to cook the meat a little before to knock the flavor up a few levels.
