Slow Cooker Black Bean Sweet Potato Chili

I subbed veggie broth so this dish would actually be vegetarian. Not a bad dish over all. I am glad I only added one onion. Next time will add some bell pepper. I didn't find the sweet potato to be overwhelming, instead it provided a nice counterbalance for the spice. (used homemade spicy black beans instead of all the canned.)

It's not vegetarian if it has chicken broth! However its an easy way to create a solid meat-free recipe. Consier the recipe as an insprational starting point. I susbstitued vegetable broth, used reconstituted dry black beans (losing a lot of sodium) and added a lot more veggies (diced celery, bell & hot peppers, zucchini, etc.) to make the falvors more complex. The core sweet potato taste is not as overwhelming that way.
