Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or other ground meat)
- 1/2 - 1 pound acorn squash (cut into 1/2 cubes)
- 1 can chickpeas (15 oz. can, drained and rinsed)

- 2 teaspoons paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne powder

Instruction
- Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Cook on medium until lightly browned, then add ground meat. Continue cooking until the meat has nicely browned.
- Add to the slow cooker base with all other ingredients. Stir to combine everything. Resist stirring while cooking (to keep the squash cubes whole).
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Serve with toppings like sour cream, green onions and cheese.
- Leftovers might dry out a little. Add water or broth as needed while reheating.
