This chili was not good at all. The flavors were off and the texture was mushy.

This chili was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I didn't have any butternut squash on hand, so I used sweet potatoes instead. The chili was still delicious, but I think the butternut squash would have added a nice sweetness.
