Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili.

An easy and healthy sweet potato quinoa chili – this filling and flavorful dish is made in the slow cooker.

This is just going to be one of those weeks. I can already tell. I have a recital on Friday, with rehearsals during the week with my pianist, Darryl has lessons to teach, the boys have homeschool activities to attend – it’s just going to be really crazy.

It’s times like these that I need to rely on my slow cooker. If I don’t rely on it, we won’t eat. :) Or we’ll wind up eating frozen pizza and chicken nuggets.

But this sweet potato quinoa chili is so filling and so flavorful, and it truly just takes a few minutes to throw in the slow cooker, so I know I will make it at least once this week.

The hardest part is dicing the sweet potatoes! Everything else is quick – just dump it in the slow cooker, put the lid on, and go about your day. It couldn’t be any easier to make, and it’s very hearty and comforting for a chilly winter evening.
