Vegetarian Chili

I made a really great Chili the other day. Not only is is low in fat and calories, it is simply delish! The secret ingredient is......Sweet Potato!
I sauteed a chopped onion in olive oil. Added minced garlic. Then I peeled and diced up a medium sweet potato. Also, a finely minced half of a green Anaheim chili pepper. When everything was almost soft I added small can of tomato sauce and some jarred salsa. If I would have had a can of diced tomatoes I would have used that but....I had to improvise.
One can of red kidney beans, drained. You could use any kind of canned bean you like. This is what was in my pantry. For spices I used cumin, cilantro and chili powder. If you like it hotter you could add some red pepper flakes too.
I let it simmer for about 40 minutes then added some frozen corn. When I served it, I grated some cheddar cheese on top along with chopped green onion. WOW! It was amazing.
It is the simple things in life that make me happy!
