This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This chili was too runny for my taste. I would recommend cooking it longer or adding a thickener, like cornstarch or flour.

This chili was too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid, like broth or water.

I didn't like the texture of the butternut squash in the chili. I would recommend using another type of vegetable, like sweet potatoes or carrots.

This chili was a little bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or using a spicier type of chili powder.

I found that this chili was a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar or omitting it altogether.

This chili is a little bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it during the week for lunch. It was just as good the second time around.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the butternut squash and didn't even realize they were eating it.
