Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced*
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin ground
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 cup porter beer
  • 1 diced tomatoes 28-ounce can
  • 3 cups black beans rinsed and drained (or about 2 cans, cooked
  • 1 butternut squash 1 ½ pounds, peeled, seeded and cubed, small
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste, coarse
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste

Optional toppings:

  • cheddar cheese shredded
  • cilantro leaves
  • avocado chopped
  • sweet onion chopped
  • scallions chopped
  • sour cream
  • Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients (except toppings) to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve with assorted optional toppings. That's it!

Notes

  • *Jalapeño peppers can vary greatly in heat level. What I usually do is cut into one and taste the flesh. If it's on the sweeter side (almost bell pepper-like), I'll add the whole thing, seeds and all. If it's tongue-burning hot, I'll just chop up half and omit the seeds altogether. Go with what you're comfortable with, heat-wise!
