I found the most gigantic sweet potatoes at walmart, only two would fit in the bottom of my 6qt oval crock, the third had to sit on the top of the bottom two. The ones on the bottom got cooked very well, the one on the top was still a bit firm. Cant wait to try again with sweet potatoes that are a bit smaller.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475550815636922389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-61465948114197019252009-07-05T19:20:03.493-07:002009-07-05T19:20:03.493-07:00Hi Stephanie--Just wanted to report that I made th...Hi Stephanie--Just wanted to report that I made this chili last week for our support group meeting and it was a big hit! I did make a few changes. Because I wanted to double the recipe without a trip to the grocery store, I ended up adding some chickpeas instead of all kidney beans. I used butternut squash puree for half of the amount of sweet potatoes required. I cut the sweet potatoes into gfe--gluten free easilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-41755417050814472022008-10-26T09:30:00.000-07:002008-10-26T09:30:00.000-07:00Thanks for the great idea.
