  • Add the red bell peppers, butternut squash, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth.
  • Stir, bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer. Cook the chili for 30-40 minutes.

Notes

  • If you have trouble cutting the butternut squash, you can microwave it for a few minutes to help soften it.
  • Try to cut the butternut squash as uniformly as possible, so they cook evenly. 
  • You can buy pre-cut butternut squash to speed up the prep time.
  • To store: Store leftover butternut squash chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  • To reheat: Reheat the chili in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot. Since it's thick, you'll need to stir it throughout. 
  • To freeze: Freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
