Ingredients
- Two sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- One can of kidney beans (15 ounces), rinsed and drained
- A can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
- Diced yellow onion
- Seeded and chopped red bell pepper
- Minced garlic cloves (two)
- Chili powder (one tablespoon)
- Smoked paprika (one teaspoon)
- Kosher salt (half a teaspoon)
- Water (one cup)
- Orange juice (half a cup)
Step 1
In a large 6-quart slow cooker, lovingly arrange the sweet potatoes as the base for this hearty and flavorful meal. Sprinkle in the vibrant kidney beans, juicy diced tomatoes, aromatic onion, colorful bell pepper, zesty garlic, a dash of chili powder for some heat, a hint of earthy paprika, and a pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors.
Step 2
Pour in a refreshing combination of water and freshly squeezed orange juice to bring a burst of citrusy brightness to the dish.
Step 3
Gently cover the slow cooker with its lid, allowing all the ingredients to mingle and meld their delicious essences together.
Step 4
Let this enticing concoction simmer and develop its rich flavors on a High setting for 3 to 4 hours until the sweet potatoes are tender to the fork or opt for a slower, more patient approach on Low for 6 to 8 hours, letting the magic unfold gradually.
