Instructions
- Add ~2 T oil to a pan, add the ground protein, the onions, leeks and the garlic. Cover, stir frequently until cooked well.
- Once protein is cooked thoroughly, add the tomatoes and beans. Stir well.
- Add the squash, it should be previously roasted/cooked. Just remove the skin, smash up a little and stir into chili.
- If you’re adding bell peppers, corn or pureed carrots now is the time to add them!
- Add the chili powder. Add the green cubes if you have them. Stir well, salt and pepper to taste. Let this simmer for 1-2 hours on low, or in the crockpot all day! Make sure that you stir in the green cubes well once they thaw in the chili.
- Done! Enjoy over the next few days or freeze in individual portions!
