“I’m a vegetarian and wanted to develop some dishes that are a little heartier than traditional vegetarian fare. I created this recipe, and even my 1-year-old loves it!” —Jillian Tournoux, Massillon, Ohio

30 20 50

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed peeled sweet potato
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package (6-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped seeded jalapeno pepper

Directions

  • In an ovenproof Dutch oven, saute sweet potato and red pepper in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, broth, beans, brown sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare corn bread batter according to package directions; stir in cheese. Drop by tablespoonfuls over chili.
  • Cover and bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve with toppings of your choice. Yield: 7 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

<p>I liked this very much! It's has a nice flavor and feels like comfort food. The rest of the family wasn't as enthusiastic, but that may be because we are used to hot and spicy dishes and this is pretty mild. Maybe next time I'll turn up the heat with cayenne and chipotle. I'll definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing this!</p>

I make this recipe all the time now, but with honey butter corn bread, extra beans, and an onion. My husband is in love and we love extra cornbread on top :)

So glad to have found this recipe! I put thin slices of Polenta on the top instead of cornbread mix hoping it'd be a bit more healthy than the ingredients in those box mixes. This also helps by not absorbing much liquid. Delicious recipe!

Full of flavor. Really enjoyed the chili bake. The sweet potatoes were my favorite part.

I loved this dish. I used the Jiffy cornbread box for the cornbread, which is larger, but still thought the ratio was nice. I did add an extra cup of broth the next time I made it and that was good, too.

Great flavor!

Made this last night. Good flavor, but too much cornbread. If I made this again I would double the Chili ingredients and use less cornbread. Most of the liquid evaporated. With some tweaking this could be a keeper:-)
