This is a wonderful, healthy and hearty chili. Top with chopped fresh cilantro, red onions, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. We served it at my mom’s 75th birthday party with margaritas, chips and guacamole, cornbread, and all of the chili toppings, of course. Fun! This recipe is from Bon Appetit.

Love this!!! I plan on making it again for my family this weekend. Mmm…
Yay! This may be my favorite chili. You need to get back to me re: not peeling the butternut squash– what a timesaver that would be!! 🙂
