[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Black Bean Chili - 4 pts plus; 26g Carbohydrate; 7g Dietary Fiber

 

Two tablespoons chili powder sounded like an excess of heat to me, so I used 2 teaspoons of Mexicale pure chile powder (which is very hot), and it was fine. If  you use a hi-bred chili powder, that is not as hot, go with the 2 Tablespoons the recipe called for.

  2                tsp  ground cinnamon
     1/2           tsp  salt

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, until the squash is tender. 

Serves 8; Serving size: 1 1/2 cups

This vegetarian chili will let you enjoy your holiday guests without
spending too much time in the kitchen: Toss everything into the slow
cooker and let it go until it's utterly irresistible. Better still, make
it a day ahead and so the flavors can fully develop in the fridge
overnight. 

Serve with minced red onion, cilantro leaves, or even a little low-fat
sour cream on the side to garnish the bowls. Want to add even more flavor?
Crumble in 1/2 pound turkey sausage, casings removed, along with the other
ingredients. (That'll increase the PointsPlusT values to 5 per serving.)
