  So healthy and delicious! I omitted the vegetable stock because in my experience crockpot dishes come out pretty watery even when you don't add any liquid. I got a great thick stew-like consistency and so much flavor! Yum! - 12/4/11

  I am NOT a vegan, vegetarian or a person who can get buy on any sort of a no-meat diet. I am an omnivore with carnivore leanings, so I tried this chili with the faith I've picked up by trying Chef Meg's other delightful recipes. My name's not Mikey, but I liked it! REALLY liked it! - 12/22/11

  This is fantastic! I cooked longer than required, for about 12 hours on low. I added some organic jalapeno sauce when served. I will make this many times - it is fantastic. Chef Meg is right, the butternut squash really makes this dish. - 1/1/12

  Used this recipe as a foundation for a chili cook-off. Scrapped the carrots...added soy crumbles for meat texture. Heated it up with some red chilis and jalapenos...some extra chili powder...added mushrooms and corn. Didn't win, but lots of compliments and we sold about 6 quarts for charity. - 1/24/12

  this recipe was incredible! I have made it twice already. the 2nd time i did some alterations, and it came out even better!
  -double the butternut squash
  -2 cans of beans (instead of 1)
  - 1/2 onion (instead of 1 , because that's all i had)
  - no broth
  *It came out sweeter with the extra butternu - 1/3/13

  Pretty good and definitely a healthier choice than my standard chili. I love the butternut squash in it. I served this chili over small potatoes I "baked" in another crockpot and my entire family enjoyed it. - 1/26/12

  Made it tonight. It is delightful and fantastic. When I make it next, I will up the spices as I like more fire but most will be happy with this. I used homemade vegetable stock modeled on both Dr. Weil and Chuck Hughes' stock recipe. It is very hearty. Add saltines or cornbread. Homerun! - 1/6/12

  Very, very good. I toned down the spices a bit. Also skipped the broth. It didn't effect the portion size by much. Added about 2T. Greek Yogurt and an ounce of extra sharp cheddar. Ate with a small bag of Doritos. - 1/3/12

  We are having a snow storm tonight in Cleveland, Oh, could not get to the store, however, I did have all the ingredients to make this dish----- even though I usually put ground turkey in my chili. This was great, rather hearty and real tasty, I did not miss the meat at all. This is a keeper!!! - 12/27/11

  What a lovely and unique blend of flavors! Slightly sweet and perfectly spicy (I added extra red pepper flakes and garlic). Because I'm so particular about my chili, I did not expect to be wowed. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. I have a new, super healthy, go-to chili recipe now. Thanks, Chef Meg - 4/3/12

  Made recipe 3 times, my best makeover entailed: lower sodium (less than 100mg/serving) by using re-hydrated dried beans, low sodium veggie broth, 1/2 no salt added canned tomatoes & 1/2 fresh diced tomatoes, removed the flakes, used mild version of chili powder and added oregano. - 2/15/12

  Great chili, tastes just like the one's we make at home. We didn't have the squash on hand but we did add Boca vegetarian fake ground meat and I couldn't tell the difference. I would definitely make this again. - 10/10/12

  This was fabulous! I loved all of the flavors and colors, and it's a great source of fiber. I added reduced fat shredded cheese to each bowl for added protein and flavor. It freezes well in individual portions. - 2/18/12

  Just finished eating this! Fantastic!! I've never had butternut squash before, I loved it! I didn't use the bell pepper because I don't like them. My husband liked it and said he didn't mind if I make it again. I can't wait to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! - 3/11/12

  I really liked this. Loved all the vegetables-- it looks really pretty in the bowl. I made it on the stove instead of the slow cooker. Accidentally opened a can of diced tomatoes instead of crushed, and I used 2 cans of black beans and 1 can of kidney beans. - 1/28/12

  I wasn't sure I'd like the combination of the sweet squash with the chili seasonings, but it was delicious. It makes a BIG batch, so if you have a smaller slow cooker, put about 1/3 of the recipe into a pot & simmer it on low. I used 2 cans pinto beans and 1 can kidney beans. - 9/17/12

  I absolutely loved this. The only thing was it was WAY too hot (and we like hot). I think French Cayenne Forte must be much stronger than the chilli powder used in the recipe. Still, not to worry, I made another batch the following day with NO chilli in and mixed the two. Froze loads. - 1/11/19
