Kid~Friendly Chili

So my kids rarely (if ever) eat my chili...this used to bum me out...(you know, chili is super cheap to make and pretty healthy I would say). BUT.....I created a new recipe last week that my kids gobbled up! Yes, even my 1 yr old asked for seconds......and thirds. :). So here is my super simple, kid friendly, chili recipe:


1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large carrot chopped into really small pieces
1/2 onion chopped really fine
2 cloves garlic minced
1 McCormick mild chili seasoning packet
2 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes...(this is IMPORTANT, make sure you get crushed)
2 tbsp sugar
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 jar baby food sweet potatoes

~Brown meat, about halfway through cooking...add carrots, onions, and garlic. Drain off fat.
~Add crushed tomatoes, chili packet, sugar, beans, and sweet potatoes.
~Simmer on low for 1-2 hours


Couldn't be easier! I serve it with cornbread and a dollop of sour cream!
