Here’s an easy supper for Super Bowl weekend coming up, or for anytime you’re looking for a comforting winter deal. It’s chili made with sweet potato cubes and cooked in beer. I liked the different flavors and textures of the dish.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
Peel sweet potato and cut into 1/4-to-1/2-inch cubes. Set aside. Heat oil in a large saucepan and add onion, garlic, ground cumin, chili power. Saute 1 minute. Add the meat and brown on all sides for another minute. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, sweet potato cubes and beer. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook 15 minutes. The potatoes should be soft. Cook a few more minutes, if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide between two large bowls and sprinkle with the cheese.
