Sweet Potato Chili

Ingredients:

* 3 good size sweet potatoes

* 1 can pinto beans

* 2 tbsp oil

* 1 yellow onion, diced

* 1 green bell pepper, diced

* 4 cloves garlic, diced

* 1/2 cup organic ketchup

* 1/3 cup molasses

* 3 tbsp Worchestershire sauce

* 2 tsp chili powder

* 1 tsp ground cumin

* 1 tsp Tabasco

* salt and pepper to taste (I usually add 1/2 tsp each)

* Depending on who is joining me I’ll had some of my Granny’s canned jalapeno peppers, diced.

Directions:

Dice the sweet potatoes and boil them in water until tender (about 20 minutes, discard water and set aside).

Saute` the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until tender (about 7 minutes).

Add all remaining ingredients except the sweet potatoes and beans. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans and sweet potatoes, reduce heat and cook 15 minutes. Serve hot with the Savory Molasses Cornbread
