Baked sweet potatoes with chili con carne

I just love chili con carne .. It is so delicious ♥
My chili con carne is filled with taste & spices – Chili con carne is perfect as autumn & winter food.

If you mix the delicious oven roasted sweet potatoes with chili con carne it becomes so perfect.
These creamy & karamelized sweet potatoes are perfect for this.

I both make this dish for leftover chili con carne (Makes it more filling)& I make it as a whole dish 🙂
