Gluten Free Dairy Free Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili
This time of year I really like to use my slow cooker. A slow cooker is the perfect tool to braise, make stock, soups and (of course!) chili. To me, nothing beats a good bowl of chili when the wind is blowing and the temperature is dipping.
But what type of chili to make? Chili is one of those things that seem quite personal. Some like their chili with ground meat and beans, some like just beans. Some people use cubed meat – never ground – and NEVER with beans. Me? I like them all, but this vegan chili really hit the spot. The sweet potatoes, beans and spice combination make the Gluten Free Dairy Free Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili really satisfying and filling. Try this as a warming lunch or serve it with a salad and gluten free corn bread for dinner.

[...] week I share Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili from the upcoming November Menu at Once a Month Mom. Stop by and say [...]
That looks so yummy, and my son would love it (he’s allergic to beef, so can’t have “normal” chili). Do you think the OJ is essential? It’s not something I normally have on hand, and I hate to buy things for just one recipe.
I think the oj can be skipped, if needed, but I do like how it enhances the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. Replace with broth or water. If you keep it on hand, you could keep concentrated frozen in the freezer, scoop out what you need (remembering it is concentrated and add water) then keep the rest in the freezer for when you need it again. It works like a charm! Hope that helps!
I’m hoping that you’re going to include this in the November menu! I have too much food still to even think about making it right now.

Do you know what size slow cooker this is intended for? I have a 1.5 qt and I’m not sure how to modify the recipe.
This would fit in a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker.
