Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Add chopped onion and bell peppers to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add diced sweet potato, crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth to the pot.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until sweet potatoes are tender and flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot.

For a slower cooker version, brown the beef and sauté the vegetables first. Then combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Adjust chili powder and cayenne pepper for desired spice level.
Serve with your favorite chili toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
