Did you all enjoy the Superbowl? What an exciting game, right?
Ok, you got me. I only turned it on for the half time show, which I thought was quite enjoyable. And really, the only other reason I would ever be at a Superbowl party is for the food.
So it may be a week or so late, but it’s never too early to start planning your menu for next years party, right? And this chili would be perfect to dish up to your football watching guests.
Smoky and sweet from the chipotle chilli and hearty and filling from the beans and squash. This chili is the perfect crowd pleaser. The squash adds an interesting twist from our other delicious vegetarian chili and is a nice compliment to the spicy flavours.
The chili also freezes great so it makes an excellent make-ahead lunch or dinner. It’s also a perfect one pot meal. Top with a squeeze of lime, some chopped avocado, and maybe a sprinkling of cheese or two.
There is actually no need to wait till next year’s big game to cook up a pot of comforting chili- our extremely cold winter sure warrants a steaming bowl!
