Notes
Recipe note: If using fresh butternut squash, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes before adding to the chili or allow extra cooking time to ensure tenderness.
Recipe note: Use two bags (14 ounces each) frozen southwest vegetable blend in place of the canned corn and black beans. For added spiciness, try adding chipotle chile powder, cayenne pepper or a favorite hot sauce.

Corn oil, such as Mazola, contains four times as many plant sterols as olive oil and 40 percent more than canola oil. Switching to corn oil whenever you use cooking oil is a great way to add plant sterols to your diet.
