You will love this Beef and Roasted Butternut Squash Chilli which is a delicious variation on a traditional chilli con carne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"chilli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tender pieces of beef, in a traditional chill sauce with kidney beans and the sweetness of butternut squash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often add sweet potato or butternut squash to my chilli, it adds a subtle sweetness with the heat of the chilli which is just delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasted Butternut squash seasoned with paprika takes it that one step further, and of course butternut squash is a speed food, so even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"roasted<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I use lean chopped chuck steak (or stewing beef) in this Beef and Roasted Butternut Squash chilli, instead of the traditional ground beef you find in chilli con carne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would also work really well cooked in a slow cooker - I recommend 8 hours on low or about 4 hours on high. If you are cooking this in the slow cooker, I do recommend roasted the butternut squash first as it will really improve the flavour of this dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to enjoy this just as it is in a bowl with some greek yoghurt, spring onions, a little cheddar and then some tortilla strips, but it would be great with rice or chips<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's also a perfect recipe for freezing, I love to have leftovers of this in the freezer for meals on busy days. It's really comforting too in the winter, when it's freezing cold and I need a hearty filling meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
