This recipe was created with friends when we lived in rainy Seattle. There's nothing better than a bowl of chili on a cold day. Sweet potatoes may be left out, but they are the secret ingredient that makes this chili fabulous. âJonell Tempero, Omaha, Nebraska Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 celery ribs, chopped |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained |
2 tablespoons butter |
