Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Mix well.

    Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Add the sweet potato mixture to the slow cooker. Then, layer in the black beans, kidney beans, and corn. Pour the can of diced tomatoes over the top (do not drain).

      Spices and Broth: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the layers in the slow cooker. Pour the vegetable broth over everything.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set to low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

          Creamy Finish: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning if needed.

            Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
