Heavenly Bison Sweet Potato Chili

I have tough days physically during damp, windy conditions when I feel deeply chilled. What is a better remedy for those days than a warm, hearty bowl of chili? I love ground buffalo meat (bison) and wanted to create a paleo Bison Sweet Potato Chili. With roasted sweet potato and carrot, as well as plenty of mushrooms, I hit the right blend of veggies to fill this dish with warmth and nourishment.
