Directions

• First chop and peel your potatoes. Place in a microwave safe bowl and steam with 1 tbsp water in them for 90 seconds.
• Next add your ground meat to the crock pot with broth and oil. (*updated* other option is to slightly brown meat beforehand so you do get as much grease in crock pot).
• Add your tomatoes, sweet potato, onion, cauliflower and mix all together.
• Finally, add your seasonings and chipotle peppers with sauce.
• Stir and cook on high for 3-4 hrs. If you browned your meat prior then cooking time will be less. Around 1-2 hrs high, checking at 1 hour or so.
• Add your shallots the last hour of cooking if you adding them.
• Add more paprika and or black pepper/sea salt when finished cooking if desired.
• Garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or basil works well too.
