- Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

- Drain sweet potatoes, mash, and let cool until safe to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine mashed sweet potatoes, chorizo, Cheddar cheese, and cilantro to make the filling. Set up a prep area for dumplings, including a tray to cool them on and a bowl of water to fasten them.
- Place 2 teaspoons of filling onto a wonton wrapper, wet the outside edge, and seal. Place dumpling on the tray. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers. Refrigerate dumplings for 30 minutes before sealing in a zip-top bag to freeze.

Steps:
- 1. In a very large skillet or saucepan, over medium heat, saute onions, garlic and green pepper in the butter, until tender. Stir often.
- 2. Add ground beef and cook until completely browned. Stir and chop up the ground beef as it brownes.
- 3. Now add all remaining ingredients and cook until heated through, then lower heat med/low. Stir well. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
- 4. Now make the dumplings by combining all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Then add in the milk, shredded cheddar and beaten egg. Stir until just combined but still lumpy.
- 5. Drop by the spoonful ontop of the chili. Cover and continue to cook for another 25 minutes. This makes about 8 dumplings.
- 6. Spoon into serving bowls and serve warm with more shredded cheddar cheese ontop.
Tips:
- Choose the right chili recipe: Select a chili recipe that suits your taste preferences, whether you prefer a classic beef chili, a spicy vegetarian chili, or a white chili. Consider the heat level and adjust the amount of chili powder or other spices accordingly.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a significant difference in the flavor of your chili. Use fresh vegetables, ground beef or turkey, and flavorful spices.
- Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before adding it to the chili will help develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough. Cook the meat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it is browned on all sides.
- Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more time the flavors have to develop. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours for a richer flavor.
- Add dumplings toward the end of cooking: Drop the dumplings into the simmering chili and cook according to the recipe instructions. This will prevent the dumplings from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Garnish the chili with your favorite toppings: Before serving, garnish the chili with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or cilantro. This will add an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish.
