At our house, we just love a good comforting, hearty, tomato-based chili with bold flavors! This unique chili is loaded with veggies and flavor. You can also prepare the recipe in the slow cooker.

This was a quick and easy dinner after a busy day. I used my own chili spice blend, but otherwise I followed the recipe. Bright tomato flavor that went well with the squash and leftover smoked chicken.
