Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potato medium sized ones, peeled and shredded
  • 2 can pinto beans drained and rinsed (kidney beans can be used too)
  • 1 red onion diced (you can use sweet onion too)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 can chipotle chiles in adobo minced (you can keep some of the chipotle chiles whole and discard them after the cooking process or mince them and get an extra kick!)
  • 6 cups spinach kale or spinach, chopped
  • 2 cups BBQ Sauce home made, see link to recipe above.

Instructions
 

  • Gather all your ingredients and dice the onion, mince the garlic and peel and shred the sweet potatoes.
  • Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened and add the minced garlic and heat for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the sautéed onions, shredded sweet potatoes, pinto beans, chipotle chiles, spinach and BBQ sauce all into a crock pot.

    I like to use the crock pot but you could sauté the onion in a large saucepan over medium/high heat. Stir in the sweet potato, cover, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the pinto beans, chipotle chiles and home made BBQ sauce. Stir in as much of the water as needed to make a smooth sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, to heat through and blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for a few more minutes, until wilted.

  • Set the crock pot to high for two and a half hours or low for about 5 hours. Mix everything a few times during the cooking process.
  • To serve, divide the mixture evenly among serving bowls.

Notes

The time doesn't include making the BBQ sauce (this is the reason I marked this recipe as "medium" for difficulty). The times are for making everything in one pot (not the crockpot).
