Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In the Crock Pot, combine the diced sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
  2. Pour in the vegetable broth and sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything nicely.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule.
  4. Serve hot, optionally topped with fresh avocado or chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and thaw overnight before reheating. Sautéing onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker enhances flavor. Add cayenne pepper or jalapeño for spice.
