Point Count: Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili

As found on the wiki.

1 Tbsp olive oil - 3 pt.
1 medium yellow onion - 0 pt.
1 medium red bell pepper seeded & diced - 0 pt.
1 large garlic clove, minced - 0 pt.
1 Tbsp chili power, or more to taste - 0 pt.
1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/2 –inch chunks - 9 pt.
1 14.5-oz can crushed tomatoes - 0 pt.
1 ½ cups slow-cooked or 1 15.5-oz can or dark red kidney beans, drained & rinsed - 3 pt.
1 ½ cups water (broth would probably make this even richer) - 0 pt.
Salt to taste - 0 pt.
1 Tbsp minced canned chipotle chiles in adobe sauce - 0 pt.
or more, if you like chipotle, and everyone likes chipotle!

Heat the oil in a large skillet (or in your crock pot on High). Add the onion, pepper & garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the chili powder & cook 30 seconds. Add the sweet potato & stir to coat with spices.

Transfer to 4-to-6 quart slow cooker (if you didn’t use the slow cooker for the first bit). Add tomatoes, beans & water, season with salt, cover & cook on Low 6-8 hours.

Stir in chipotles when ready to serve & taste to adjust seasonings.
