Veggie Chili

For the next few weeks, there will be meatless meals a few times each week.  This past Friday, I decided to enlist the labor of my crock pot and make chili. I adore recipes that require very little prep work and this is definitely one!

Ingredients

1  sweet potato

1 chopped red onion

1 green bell pepper

1 can kidney beans

1 can black beans

2 cans diced tomatoes (I use the kind with chili seasoning mixed in)

1 spoonful unsweetened cocoa

minced garlic, cumin and white pepper to taste

What to do

The only prep work is to chop the onion, pepper, and sweet potatoe. Layer all ingredients in the crock pot, add 1 cup water and sprinkle any seasonings on top. Turn on low and let the crock pot do the work for you!  The nice thing about this recipe is that it tastes delicious as a veggie chili, but could be equally tasty with the addition of some ground beef or sausage.
