Author Notes

Try this hearty and nutritious chili recipe that’s perfect for the fall. The sweet butternut squash works well with the smoky heat of the chipotle chilis. By incorporating healthy vegetables and black beans in this dish, only a small amount of ground beef (1/2 pound for 6 servings) is added. This cuts down on the calories and fat and no one will even miss it! This dish can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the ground beef and adding an extra can of beans. —Sonali aka the Foodie Physician

Test Kitchen Notes

Sonali has created a delicious, healthy, and satisfying meal that can be prepared in about an hour from prep to finish – not an easy feat! Chili purists may quibble with the name, but no one will complain about the flavor. The beef and beans add heartiness, that contrasts nicely with the sweet butternut squash. The somewhat tangy tomato sauce brings it all together. It’s pretty mild, so don’t be afraid to stir in extra chipotle and adobo if you like your chili a little spicier. —hardlikearmour
