Beer-spiced chili perfect Super Bowl supper

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

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.

A small amount of tomato paste adds richness to the sauce. Any leftover paste from a can be frozen and used another time.

Open a bag of green salad and serve with the chili.
