Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook and stir until no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer beef to a bowl and sprinkle with salt.

  2. Add remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven. When hot, add butternut squash and onion. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chili powder and cinnamon, cook for 1 minute.

  3. Add cooked beef, tomatoes, broth, water, and honey, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until squash is nice and soft and beef is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add beans and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Note

A sweeter version of a traditional chili using honey and cinnamon. The butternut squash is a wonderful addition adding more nutrients and balancing out the tomato flavor of traditional chili.
