Nothing says comfort like a bowl of hot chili, especially during the cold fall and winter. I have plenty of chili recipes, but lately my family has been requesting my beef, black bean and butternut squash chili!

This chili is packed with flavor! My husband and son love it because it’s nice and hearty. I love it because of the obvious reasons, and also because it’s a great way for me to sneak in their vegetables.

A bowlful of beef, black bean and butternut squash chili on a wooden table next to a black and silver Crock-Pot, three red vine tomatoes, and two green onions.

This chili is extremely easy to whip up. It’s perfect for lunch, dinner, and even tailgating parties!

A collage of three ingredients for beef, black bean and butternut squash chili.

To get started you’ll need ground beef, canned black beans, and canned diced or crushed tomatoes.

You’ll also need butternut squash, a yellow onion, fresh garlic, celery, and red bell pepper.

You’ll need to brown the ground beef, then add all of the other ingredients in the Crock-Pot® slow cooker.

The chili will then cook for 3 hours, and this will be the outcome!

  3. I have to tell you that I am so glad I came across this recipe. I had a squash that I needed to do something with and God sent me this recipe. This was a hit!! I omitted the celery,(don’t like it), added a little brown sugar, smoky BBQ chili seasoning and this was amazing! A huge hit with family.

    I’m added this as a staple this winter!

    Thank you so much!!!

    *** I tried rating it all 5’s put my phone wouldn’t let me.

    Thanks for this recipe! I made it in the instant pot by sauteing the meat first and then adding the ingredients +1 cup of beef broth and then pressure cooking for 25 minutes. Everyone loved it!
