Crockpot Black Bean Chili with Butternut Squash (Easy Recipe)

With temperatures ready to dip into the low 30s this week here on the East Coast, I was looking for a hearty, warm and delicious meal to serve after a long day at school and work. I've never made Chili with Butternut Squash before but this recipe did not disappoint! Easy, economical and hearty, this is a delicious recipe to try on a cold Fall or Winter night! 

Crockpot Black Bean Chili with Butternut Squash

  • One medium butternut squash, peeled seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • One can of Black Beans, drained
  • One can of diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 package of Trader Joes Fire Roasted Onions and Peppers
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
  • Crushed Red Pepper, to taste

In crockpot, combine black beans, tomatoes, onions, peppers and squash. Add chili powder and toss to combine. Heat on low for 4 hours and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper as desired. Serve with sour cream, cheese and cilantro as desired.

  1. This sounds so good! I've been on a chili kick lately (we just had the cook off) and I'm always looking for new recipes. Love a good slow cooker one too! I hate to cut up butternut squash so I usually buy the cubed because whenever I do buy a whole one, it brings me back to why I hate to cut it!! I totally respect people who do!

  2. Perfect!! Just what I need. We are going to have a high of 20 degrees Thursday.

    I have about 10 different varieties of squash in the cellar. I do not have butternut. I think I will be able to use others for the recipe. I will let you know how it turns out.

  3. This sounds good! We don't have a Trader Joe's nearby though. I suppose fresh onions and peppers could be substituted?
