Going northern european style is great for the fall! I added 2 chopped parsnips, a chopped turnip, ~1 cup chopped carrots, and a roasted bulb of garlic with the onions, and 1/4 cup grenache/syrah once the vege's were tender. Spiced (to taste) with Bay leaf, herbs de provence, paprika, celery salt, tumeric, fresh ground mixed peppercorns & increased the worchestershire to 2 tsp. Next time i'll include a couple fingerling potatoes.

I added ~1/2 cup of raisins to add a little sweetness and replaced the olive oil with mayo. Very nice on toast or just by itself.

I was very hesitant to add squash to chili, but i went for it (Acorn instead of Butternut). I forked the outside of the squash and baked for 15 mins at 400F before peeling and adding to pot. I replace the diced tomatoes & tomatoe sauce with 2 (10oz) cans of Spicy Rotel and a small can of tomato paste and 1 cup of broth. The recipe started out pretty bland, but was improved with additionalchili powder (total: 2 tblsp Chimayo Red + 2 tsp Pasilla)
