If you’re looking for a “set it and forget it” recipe for a delicious beanless chili, then do I ever have the recipe for you! This chili is packed with hunks of sweet potato and carrot along with ground lamb or beef and lots of warm, comforting spices. I guarantee that you won’t miss the beans!
Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili
It’s Whole30 and Paleo friendly but I can honestly say this is something I would make regardless of whether I was on Whole30 or not. It’s so good and flavorful and I actually prefer the sweet potatoes over beans.
I have been using my slow cooker so much more frequently over the last few months. There’s nothing like coming home to a house that smells amazing and a hearty, comforting dinner. Since I’ve been getting such high usage out of my slow cooker, I decided it was time for an upgrade. My previous slow cooker only held four quarts and had limited heat settings with no timer function. It was a hand me down from who knows how many years ago. I felt like I could barely fit enough to fit two people with a small amount of leftovers into the crockpot and it always seemed overcrowded.
I selected this shiny, new Fridgidaire Professional Stainless Steel Slow Cooker. My favorite features of this crock pot are the multiple heat settings. With one touch you can choose between buffet, soup, low, medium, high or warm. It’s also fully programmable and at the end of your cooking cycle it will go to auto keep-warm to hold the temperature for up to three hours. This is PERFECT for those nights that I get stuck at the studio or gym longer than anticipated and I don’t have to worry about my food burning or spoiling.
The first recipe I made with my new slow cooker was this amazing Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili and I’m so excited to share it with you today!

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
