This hearty Black Bean Butternut Squash Chili is made in the slow cooker so it’s the perfect meal for any night of the week. Make a big batch and enjoy it for game day with all the toppings you love. Super flavorful with a bit of spicy heat!

I have made countless different versions of chili in my life. Being that I love the flavors of chili, I have liked nearly all of them. But, I always tend to fall back on my Pumpkin Lentil Chili. It is the perfect balance of spicy and sweet, creamy and chunky, veggie and beany (that’s a thing, right?). It has always been my favorite…..until now! This is a bold statement considering how much I love that pumpkin lentil goodness, but this Black Bean Butternut Squash Chili is now #1 in this house! It is also the perfect balance of everything and the fire roasted tomatoes really take it to the next level with all that smoky tomatoey deliciousness. Best yet is that it’s all done in the slow cooker making your life so much easier!

Do you want to dive head first into that bowl? No? Maybe it’s just me.

Go ahead and grab a big spoon and dig right in. Or grab a bag of tortilla chips and dunk away – this was the kids preferred way and, I must admit, mine too! Talk about perfect party food…I hear there is a big game this weekend. 😉 Set out all the toppings you can think of and let everyone customize their own bowl. Might I suggest a drizzle of Creamy Cumin Ranch on top of your Butternut Squash Chili? We tried it and it’s divine!

Slow Cooker Black Bean Butternut Squash Chili

For the kids, I stirred a little vegan sour cream into their bowls to help cool down the spice a bit. And of course, cool, creamy avocado on top helps too. They gobbled it right up.
