Yummy!! I think that may be lunches next week!0

this looks really good, thank you. i love butternut squash and now that it's in season, it'll be on the menu for a while!0

Sounds delicious! I suggest blending 1/4 - 1/2 of the squash (or using 1/4 or 1/2 of another squash) with 1/2 of the tomatoes (or a separate can), then adding that to the chili. It will create a decadently thick sauce.0

Oh I just made something similar the other night! But I used sweet potatoes and zucchini.
I didn't put the tomatoes or black beans in the first time around. But we had leftovers that I turned into soup. That's when I added the tomatoes and beans (I puree about half of them to thicken the broth). I tossed in frozen corn too. Eating some for lunch at my desk as I type.0
