I know, I know, it sounds strange!  Sweet potatoes in chili?!  Well, you're just going to have to trust me!  I adapted this recipe from Skinnytaste, converting it to be CROCK-POT friendly, and adjusted the ingredients for a little more POW!  I make this frequently when hosting a large group and it's always well received!  In fact, I'm posting this now due to the many requests I got for the recipe!  Like all good crock-pot recipes, this is put together quickly and easily with no fuss!  Hearty and healthy, it's comfort food at its finest!

I've never been a fan of sweet potatoes so I wasn't sure if I would like this chili but was pleasantly surprised! This is now one our favorites!!
