Ingredients
- 4 acorn squash halved and seeds scooped out
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
chili (note: you will have leftover chili)
- 1 pound ground beef of your choice
- 1 onion medium
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces beer or beef stock
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp chili powder more to taste
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 15 ounce pinto beans drained and rinsed, or white beans, canned
- 4 ounce green chili diced, canned
- 1-2 Tbsp red wine vinegar for a umami boost, or Worcestershire sauce
- 2-3 Tbsp masa harina optional, for thickening the chili
- 1/2 cup cheese use more if you like it extra cheesy, shredded
garnish
- olives sliced
- cilantro leaves
- green onion sliced
- red onion minced
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Brush the squash halves with one tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place face down on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until tender.
- Brown the ground beef in a large heavy bottomed pot, and then remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and saute the onions and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the beer to the pot and bring to a boil. Boil for a minute or two to reduce it down a bit, and then add the meat, tomatoes, and spices. Give everything a good stir and bring up to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the beans and chilies and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the masa harina into the chili and stir well. Continue to simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Check the seasonings and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle some chili into each acorn squash half and top with cheese. Put under the broiler until the cheese is melted. Top with garnishes and serve.
