Chipotle Red Bean Chili w/ Sweet potatoes

1TB olive oil
1 red bell
1 yellow onion
1/2 TB chili powder (you can use more, dd1 and dh just don't like spicy)
1 clove garlic
2 cubed sweet potatoes
1.5 C water
14oz can diced tomatoes
1 TB finely chopped chipotle chilis (I use canned, easier to get here)
cinnamon, salt and honey to taste


-In large pot, cook onion, minced garlic and chopped red bell in heated oil, 5min with lid on. Then stir in the chili powder, then diced sweet potatoes until they're coated in spice.
-add tomatoes, beans, water, salt, honey, cinnamon, and simmer over med. heat until all flavors are blended (about 20-30 min).
-Stir in chipotles (you can add more than recipe calls for it you like spicy...they're fairly mild).
-Serve and enjoy! Goes great with cornbread.

I usually double this recipe so we can have leftovers...it's even better the second time around.
