This is a favorite recipe of my clients and in So Cal right now, this fat burning chili will warm your belly and nourish your body.
You can make this with beef or Turkey and beans for zinc and B vitamins, tomatoes and green peppers for vitamin C, and butternut squash for beta-carotene.
Her is the detail.
Beef (turkey) and Butternut Squash Chili
1 lb extra lean ground beef or Turkey breast
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 14 1/2 oz cans canned Mexican style stewed tomatoes
1 16 oz can chili beans
1/2 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed, about 1 1/2 cups
1 cup low sodium beef broth
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 cup frozen corn kernels
Cooking:
Cook beef, bell pepper, onion and garlic over medium high heat until the meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well and return to pan. Stir in tomatoes, chili beans, squash, beef broth, cumin and chili powder and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Stir in corn and cook uncovered 15 minutes or until squash is tender and chili is thickened.

This looks good. It seems like it would taste really good in a crock pot too!
