Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- Butter
- Salt
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained
- 6 oz. can tomato paste
- ½ can beer
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- ½ tbsp. cumin
- ½ tsp. salt
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Cut four large squares of aluminum foil for the packets.
- Butter the outside of each sweet potato and season heavily with salt.
- Wrap them in the foil and nestle into the embers of the fire to cook. Rotate every few minutes with tongs to avoid burning. Cook for around 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, dice the onion.
- On your stove, heat a drizzle of oil in a pot over medium heat.
- Add in 3/4 of the onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Drain the beans and add to the pot with the tomato paste, beer, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
- Reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until reduced and thickened.
- When the sweet potatoes are soft, remove them from the fire and unwrap. Be careful because they will steam and the steam can burn you. Use gloves.
- Slit each potato down the center, lengthwise, and top with the chili and remaining onions, cheese, sour cream, or whatever you like in your chili.
