1 |
pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces |
2 |
medium onions, chopped |
1 |
jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped |
5 |
garlic cloves, minced |
2 |
tablespoons chili powder |
2 |
teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 |
teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 |
teaspoon ground chipotle pepper |
2 |
cups chicken broth |
1 |
can (14 1/2 ounces) no-salt-added fire-roasted diced tomatoes |
1 |
can (15 ounces) no-salt-added black beans |

Heat casserole over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-covered plate.
Reduce bacon fat in casserole to 2 tablespoons and return to stove over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, onions and jalapeno pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano and ground chipotle; cook until fragrant, 15 seconds.
Pour in broth, tomatoes, beans and barley; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender and barley is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bacon and salt; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
