Slow Cooker Sausage and Sweet Potato Chili
Earlier this week I was able to wear my Uggs and it seriously made me soooo happy! St. Louis hasn’t had much of the cold temps, as it tends to come and go. Nevertheless, I love the cold weather. Growing up in Upstate New York gave me a greater appreciation for it — especially the snow.
Warming up to a bowl of soup, stew or chili is one of many things I enjoy about the winter months. Earlier this year (October) I partnered with Red Gold® on their #HelpCrushHunger campaign and did a segment on a local TV station. So, I did’t just want to share this recipe with the locals, so I decided to share this Sausage and Sweet Potato Chili recipe with all of you as well.
Feeling a little skeptical about some of the ingredients? I was too; however, I was pleasantly surprised how tasty this recipe was.

Hi Kelly. I am definitely trying the sweet potato chili. I live in upstate New York. It’s been warmer than usual here as well and I have worn my uggs only twice. Love your blog!
