Squash in my chili?

In the fall, I try to put squash in just about everything.  Yesterday it was chili.  I browned a pound of Snake Hill Farms hamburger, added a can of red kidney beans & a can of chopped tomatoes.  I then added (without sauteing!) onions, garlic, green onions, celery, a roasted poblano pepper, one roasted beet and big chunks of unpeeled acorn squash.  I added salt & chili powder & cooked it until the squash was tender.  Then I peeled & chopped the squash & added it back in.  I served it with some cornbread - the cornmeal was also in the bag.  Even the teenager liked it!
