3. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
4. 1 large can (29.5 oz) can tomato sauce
5. 2 cups petite diced tomatoes, with juice
6. 3 cups beef stock
7. 3 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)
8. 5 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4-5 cups)
9. 2 bay leaves
10. ½ teaspoon thyme
11. 2 tsp. salt
12. 1½ teaspoons black pepper
13. ½ cup chili powder
14. dash of oregano
15. dash of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, brown hamburger, onions and garlic. Drain off the fat. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan. Mix well, bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooked through.
2. Slow Cooker Option: Instead of simmering the chili on the stove for 3 hours, you can put it in your crockpot and let it simmer on low all day (8 hours) or on high for 5-6 hours.
