Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the chili. Simply toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  • If you don't have any black bean sausage, you can substitute regular sausage or ground beef. Just be sure to season it well with chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • To make the chili ahead of time, simply cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
