This is a quick recipe to throw together and is great for chilly days. The optional broccoli bulks up the chili's nutrition but isn't noticeable in the final product. All recipes I post are made for those who need to live sulfite-free, which means these recipes are also clean-eating recipes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 head broccoli
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped yellow onion, or to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper, or to taste
3 cups filtered water, or as needed
1 (24 ounce) container crushed tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 jalapeno pepper, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place squash halves on a baking sheet. Coat the flesh with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool until safe to handle. Scrape flesh into a bowl and mash.
  • Remove broccoli florets from stems. Grind florets in a food processor.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and chipotle pepper. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer the beef to a stock pot over medium heat. Add the mashed squash, ground broccoli, water, tomatoes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower heat; simmer until flavors meld and vegetables are tender, at least 30 minutes.

This chili was a disaster! It was watery and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I didn't like this chili at all. It was too bland and the texture was weird. I would not recommend this recipe.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more spices to give it more flavor. I also would have preferred it to be thicker.

I made this chili for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it, even those who don't usually like chili. The smoky flavor from the paprika and cumin was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This chili is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I love that it's beanless, because I'm not a big fan of beans. The flavor is amazing and it's the perfect comfort food for a cold day.

Yum! This chili was delicious. The absence of beans didn't detract from the flavor or texture. In fact, I think it made the chili more flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was a bit skeptical about a beanless chili, but I was pleasantly surprised! The chili had a rich and flavorful broth and the beef and vegetables were perfectly cooked. Definitely a keeper!

This beanless chili was a hit with my family! It packed a flavorful punch and had a hearty texture. The absence of beans didn't compromise the chili's taste and substance.
