Sweet Potato Chili

My entire family loved this chili. And, the method calls for the crock pot, so it is easy. I made a double batch and froze half.

Try this delicious sweet potato chili from Can You Stay for Dinner this winter. The only change I made was that I cooked the ground beef before putting it in the crock pot.
