absolutely loved this dish. i thought the flavours were wonderful and it was easy to make. i left out the chipotle for my husband and son as they dont like the heat, but added it to my own. Both were delicious, so its perfect for those that dont like their food too spicy. i will definitely be making this again, comfort food at its best. robyn.donnelly	4 weeks 3 days ago
This is an easy, healthy, and delicious chili. We learned about it through a friend. Lonnie, Portage, MI	8 weeks 4 days ago
We really enjoyed this - it was super easy without all the veggies to cut that some other non-meat chili recipes call for and the flavors were great. Of course, I realized I was out of cumin at the 11th hour, so just used some extra chili powder. Sprinkled some sour cream and lowfat cheddar on top and served with cornbread and oven-roasted potatoes. I resisted the urge to add some frozen corn or carrots. Made a decent meal for two, but would likely double it if I made it again. Abby, Medford, NJ	8 weeks 4 days ago
My husband and I totally loved this recipe. It was super easy to make and delicious. I didn't have any chipotle chili so I left it out and it still tasted great - although next time I will definitely add that heat. Mary, Somerville, MA	8 weeks 4 days ago
I liked this dish. It was lacking a certain flavor though...I added some brown sugar and that helped, but I think next time in addition to a dash of brown sugar I may use beef broth rather than water and/or chili ready diced tomatoes rather than plain. I thought it was a hearty, filling meal - and a good, new way to eat sweet potatoes. Pammyk, Grand Rapids, MI	8 weeks 4 days ago
I have not made this yet, but am eager to. I plan to use chicken stock in place of water, as I don't eat tomatoes and know it is going to need some added flavor. Seems pretty versatile: could be eaten alone, a healthy breakfast, wrapped in a corn tortilla. Two great superfoods, can not really beat that!!! dottie	8 weeks 4 days ago
This was very tasty and a great vegetarian alternative to meat chili. I did substitute vegetable broth for the water. I will definately make this again. Jamie, Bloomfiled, NM	8 weeks 4 days ago
Extremely easy to make and delicious. I added ground turkey breast, some chicken stock, and extra lime juice. Cook extra and put in the freezer for a rainy day!!! Jim, Danbury, CT	8 weeks 4 days ago
I made a triple batch to eat over a week. I used the canned black Caribbean beans without rinsing for added flavor. I cut down on the chili powder and increased the chipotle for more flavor. Teresa, Portland, OR	8 weeks 4 days ago
This dish tastes amazing! I don't care for a lot of heat, so I left out the chipotle -- chili powder added plenty of flavor all by itself. I tweaked the water with a bit of low-sodium beef broth for the carnivores in the family, and served with brown rice. All in all, a great way to eat well without eating a ton. Definitely a keeper!
