Makes 8-10 servings.

Ingredients

• butternut squash (If you're finding the squash too hard to cut, you can poke holes in it with a fork and then microwave for a few minutes to soften.)
• 1 onion
• 1 bell pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 pound ground turkey or beef
• 1 can (15.5 oz) black beans
• 1 can (15.5 oz) kidney beans

• 1 can tomato sauce (29 oz)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

1. Wash your hands with water and soap.
2. Dice the squash, onion and bell pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a large pot.
4. Once the oil is hot, brown the ground turkey or beef with the onion, about 10 minutes.
5. Rinse the beans and add them to the pot.
6. Add the squash, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices.
7. Cook all together until the squash is soft, about 30-40 minutes.
8. Serve and enjoy! Top with shredded cheese if desired.
