I made this last Sunday for supper and it was delicious. This is a mild flavored chili that suits my family's taste just fine. You could always spice it up more if you like more heat. I really love butternut squash but this was the first time I had ever used it in chili. I really liked sweet flavor of the squash combined with the spicy flavor of the chili powder. This dish also has hominy it it that I had never tried before and I thought it added a good flavor. This is a recipe that I would definitely make again!
