One-Pot Italian Sausage and Sweet Potato Chili

Instructions

1. 1Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-size pieces, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
2. 2Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
3. 3Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. 4Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes with their juices, black beans, and chicken broth. Season generously with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
5. 5Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
6. 6Uncover and simmer 5 minutes more if you want a thicker chili. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
7. 7Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
