Beef Chili with Butternut Squash

With a perfect flavor balance between the sweetness of the squash and the heat of the chili, this one-pot meal will please adults and children alike. To peel the butternut squash quickly and easily, use a sharp paring knife or a vegetable peeler.

To make this even healthier you can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, ground chicken. Also avoid butter or sour cream as toppings for this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 14 ½ -ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juice

  • 1/3 cup light sour cream
  • ½ cup shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Sauté the beef, onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the meat.

2. Drain the meat and vegetables in a colander and return to the pot.

3. Add the squash, 2 cups of water, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, chili powder, beans, and garlic. Bring to a simmer.
