Tips, Changes + Stored Information
Oneadd a pinch of cinnamon To compliment the sweetness of sweet potatoes. It’s not a flavor you can particularly taste in a chili, but a source of emphasis.
Toppings: The soup is delicious on its own, but you can definitely spice it up with a few toppings. Some favorites include:
- sour cream
- grated cheese
- green onion
- Jalapeno Chips
- lime wedges
roof: I love filling my house with the scent of soup in a crock pot on cold days, but sometimes I need to be able to make a quick dinner. Prepare recipe as directed, except add ingredients to large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Variety:
- If you don’t like black beans, you can use kidney beans or pinto beans.
- Add more vegetables like bell peppers or onions.
- Replace ground beef with ground chicken, turkey, or even sausage. You can also ditch the meat entirely.
shop Divide leftovers into individual servings, or all. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
freeze: Roasted sweet potatoes can be frozen, but raw sweet potatoes cannot. My suggestion is to fully make the peppers before freezing, then thaw and reheat when you want to enjoy them. . Make sure the peppers are completely cool before pouring them into a freezer-safe container. If properly frozen, this pepper will keep for 6-12 months.
