Crock-Pot Butternut Squash Black Bean Chili
Chili is my favorite cold weather go-to dinner, and this crock-pot butternut squash black bean chili is no exception.
I love to make it on Sundays when the football is on, I just throw everything into my crockpot and walk away. My home smells delicious all day. I’ve been experimenting with different ingredient combinations. This one turned out really nice as the sweetness of the butternut squash compliments the spice perfectly.

It’s that EASY!!! Enjoy.
I find that crock-pot temperatures can vary, mine gets pretty hot even on the low setting, so adjust your times accordingly. It also simmers really nicely on the keep warm setting, so it’s ok if it’s done before you’re ready to eat.
