Ingredients

    Butternut Squash, 2 pounds peeled and diced
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Onions, raw, 1 large (chopped)
    Garlic, 3 clove minced
    Jalapeno Peppers, 1 pepper chopped
    Crushed Tomatoes, 14.5 oz can
    Canned diced Tomatoes, 14.5 oz can
    Apple juice, unsweetened, 1 cup
    Chili powder, 2 tbsp
    Beans, black, 2 14.5 oz cans, drained and rinsed
    Chicken Broth, 1 c.

Directions

1. Cut the butternut squash into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeņo (if using). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the butternut squash, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, broth, apple juice, chili powder, salt, and cayenne, and stir well. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the squash is tender, about 30 minutes.

3. Add the beans, cover, and continue to simmer about 15 minutes to blend flavors. Serve hot.

This works great in the crock pot, just saute the vegetables first until they have a touch of golden brown color, and set the water aside and only add if needed so the chili isn't too soupy. You can let it simmer all day in the slow cooker.
