Boot Camper review:
I have made this chili several times and it’s great. I don’t cook too well but I can manage this one.

If you don’t want to play around with peeling and cutting up the squash, Trader Joe’s has butternut squash already cut up in a bag ready to cook and it really gives the chili a great flavor.

You can also use cut up frozen onions and bell peppers to save more time. For any of you on Weight Watchers, it is only three points and you get 8 one cup servings.

I freeze it in serving sizes and just microwave for lunch or dinner. Add some low fat grated cheese and some whole wheat crackers and your tummy will be happy without guilt
