Sweet Potato Chili Casserole
Sweet Potato Chili Casserole is hearty and cheesy with ground beef, black beans and tender sweet potatoes baked in one skillet. Smoky, cozy and filling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup red bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth low sodium
- 2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef in an even layer and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain the excess grease, leaving about one tablespoon in the pan.
- Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, black beans, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Use this time to scrape any brown, burned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until melted and bubbling.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
Even pieces: Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces so they’re all tender at the same time.
Oven-safe skillet: Use a cast iron or other oven-safe skillet, since it goes from the stove right into the oven.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Scrape the pan: Scrape up the browned bits as the sauce simmers. They add a lot of flavor.
